Uiua

Run it here!

How to read this

Uiua has a very helpful path function built in which returns all valid paths that match your criteria (using diijkstra/a* depending on whether third function is provided), making a lot of path-finding stuff almost painfully simple, as you just need to provide a starting node and three functions: return next nodes, return confirmation if we've reached a suitable target node (here testing if it's = 9), (optional) return heuristic cost to destination (here set to constant 1), .
