Lab A4.901 Creature AI - Contest Submission

Mission

You are writing the AI for a creature that will wander the world finding and collecting food while avoiding walls. The creature must follow these rules while collecting treats:

1. The creature can never end a frame even partially inside a wall. No going through walls.
2. The creature can never end a frame more than 2 pixels from where they started (i.e. no moving faster than 2). Since move(2) moves at most by square root of 5, that is the absolute limit.
3. You cannot remove or change any properties of any walls.
4. You cannot move any treats or change the properties of any treats.
5. You cannot remove any treats the creature is not touching.
6. You cannot change the size or image of the creature.
