An Exact 93-Move Solution to a Nonlocal Crystal-Exchange Puzzle· 非局部晶体交换谜题的精确解法

We determine the minimum number of directional commands needed to solve alevel of Order of the Sinking Star, modeled as a crystal-exchangepuzzle on an 11*11 board. A command swapsthe player with the nearest crystal in the selected row or column, regardlessof distance; only an empty ray permits an ordinary unit walk. Two gates admitthe player to the exit exactly while all sixteen crystals occupy their targetcells. We give an explicit 93-command solution and exclude every shortersolution by an exact, cost-bounded breadth-first search. The search representsa position by its seventeen occupied cells and one active cell. Its admissibleheuristic partitions command costs between a compressed core abstraction andresidual motion, strengthened by a necessary activation detour and a cornervisit condi
