It's finally time to attempt a SelfAvoiding Walk! In this video, I quickly visualize a simple JavaScript p5.js implementation of a selfavoiding walk. I then tackle the more complex problem of backtracking to find a solution to a spacefilling selfavoiding walk. https://thecodingtrain.com/challenges...

Timestamps:
0:00 Choo choo! Welcome!
1:05 Explain! How can we go about this?
2:29 Code! Let's add a visited grid.
6:25 Code! What are the options for movement now?
10:34 Code! Let's check the edges.
12:34 I could stop here but wait.
13:30 Explain! How can we think about backtracking?
15:15 Code! Let's make a spot class and a path variable.
24:23 Code! Now backtracking!
29:38 Whoops! Copying allOptions was a mistake.
31:19 Code! Maybe we need an end condition.
32:09 Yay! It worked.
32:22 This could take awhile. Could it be improved?
