[sullen island]

why not just

while(!onLeaf()){
    if(!treeRight()){
        turnRight();
    }
    if(!treeFront()){
        move();
    } else {
        turnLeft();
    }
}

?

no need to check left

[terse hearth]

because this will go backwards if only the left side is open

[sullen island]

which always works

[terse hearth]

no

[sullen island]

ah hold on

[terse hearth]

suppose this kind of corridor

+---+---+
|       |
+   +   +
|🍀| ^ |
+---+---+

treeFront() false, move() (^)
treeFront() true, turnRight() (>)
treeFront() true, turnRight() (v)
treeFront() false, move() (v)
treeFront() true, turnRight() (<)
treeFront() true, turnRight() (^)
returned to start

[sullen island]

fixed

[terse hearth]

anyways it could be improved though, you have duplicate checks

[terse hearth]

if there is a wall to the right you just loop indefinitely

[sullen island]

then it would not execute turnRight() and instead check whether it could go forward

[terse hearth]

oh whoops

no that goes backwards

wait

i keep reading it as else if lmao

[sullen island]

it needs to go backwards if there's no other way
