Implementation

To use this tool, you should modify your code to read and write from standard in/out. As usual, this does not effect the code you submit to TopCoder. To do this, you should first read the maze and the parameter T from standard in. You will first read H and W on a single line. The next H lines will contain the H rows of the maze. Finally, you should read T. You should then continually read the inputs to the move method. First, read N, the number of collapsed cells. Then read the N elements of colR on a single line, delimited by spaces. The next line will contain colC. A final line will contain curR and curC. You should then print and flush the direction to move in. In pseudocode, where the nextInt function reads an integer and nextString reads a non-whitespace string: 
  main() {
    H = nextInt();
    W = nextInt();
    for (i = 0; i < H; i++) {
      maze[i] = nextString();
    }
    T = nextInt();
    init(maze, T);
    while (true) {
      N = nextInt();
      for(i = 0; i < N; i++) 
        colR[i] = nextInt();
      for(i = 0; i < N; i++) 
        colC[i] = nextInt();
      curR = nextInt();
      curC = nextInt();
      println(move(colR, colC, curR, curC));
      fflush(stdout);
    }
  }

Usage

To run the visualizer, you should run java -jar Visualizer.jar from the command line. There are a number of parameters that control the behavior: In the visualization, coins are denoted by gold cells, you are denoted by a blue cell, visited locations are green and collapsed locations are red.
