I've really enjoyed how this problem and day 20's (the donut maze one) added some unusual geometry to the problem. It really emphasizes thinking about problems as arbitrary graphs rather than just grids. Also, it keeps the problem unique; it means it's less likely that there's a pre-existing ASCII maze-solver or cellular automata engine that the problem could be plugged into.
Day 24, both parts in Rust
