Fast centipede movement?

[Retrospect]

I've emailed Jeff Minter for his blessing/permission to do a port of Grid Runner for the TI.  If he gets back to me and grunts "yes" then I shall release a game as close to the original as can be.   If he says no, then I shall do something else.

Nice...  Wonder how it handles walls...  It's possible to have a pattern without an exit, right?

Or, maybe when that happens, the centipede just eats through it?

Yes, my centipede is one of the hungry variety.  He always moves down when encountering a wall, if the down path is blocked, he will chew through it.  Any of these patterns:

#         #            #
 #       #           ##
                      ##    <-- this one will chew straight down the middle
                     ##
                      ##
                     ##
