148hrs+ to beat Silksong? Is that a record? Now I am free to play other games again!

I've completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/6 Python again. Part 2 went so wrong. Anything "clever" didn't work out. I hate premature optimisation. Need to really just brute force some of these. The need to do > 1 turn also caught me out!

It's 2:30am here and I'm thinking about the algorithm for advent of code part 2 (this is why I might need to stop!). I've partaken of plenty of Christmas spirits. But this looks like the basis of a solution. Will it make sense in the morning?

Here's a picture from this summer - a beautiful walk up Dinas Emrys in Gwynedd, Wales. In legend, Merlin discovered a white dragon fighting a red dragon here. The same red dragon celebrated on the Welsh flag.
