The goal of this puzzle is to find a sequence of max 5 commands that will move the triangle through the maze and visit all colored squares.

Three types of commands can be used:

  • F0 makes the sequence start over.
  • The arrows (↑, ↱, ↰) move the triangle (forward) or make it change orientation (clockwise, anti-clockwise).
  • Xs change the color of the square the triangle is in to the color of the X.

Each command can (but does not need to) have a color. A colored command is only executed if the triangle is in a square of the same color.
