Eddy, you're supposed to help us become better photographers! You're good enough you really don't need to provide your competition with this additional distraction : )
... once you get used to it, esp once you realise you can turn the powersource too...
Yes, took me quite a few moves to find that one ... I admit I bailed pretty quickly on a 7x7 just for lack of time right now, but I know where to find it now : (
Once I figured you could turn the power source as well (about 10 minutes into a 7x7) I got hooked. So far no one at work has caught me yet, but it's just a matter of time.
My best so far:
7x7 71458/38 turns
9x9 105351/61 turns
Each board differs, so you have to compare your number of turns with the minimum turns. Time is also a factor, but I think reducing your turn count gives you a better score. I've almost broke 300k score wise, but haven't yet hit the minimum turns on 11x13.
That wrapping border is tricky dicky. Not enough "boundary conditions" ;-)
Yeah, time doesn't seem to be too important. Can't get closer than 3 over the minimum number of turns though :-/ I'm going to call it quits with a score of 345k. I just get way too addicted to these flash games, just like this one:

Note the huge amount of time. A subsequent attempt gave me about 880k in 8 minutes (again with turns = minimum = 110). I had considerable trouble getting turns = minimum until I clued in on the lock toggle (lock symbol on left or 'L' key). That was like getting a crack pipe.
Interestingly, in wrap mode, you can actually get under the reported minimum (not surprising I suppose).
