Cheating with Ruby
summary
A Ruby script called PetDetector RubyGem analyzes a game screenshot, uses RMagick for image ops, phashion perceptual hashes to identify pets and houses, probes edges to find the road, builds a graph and runs Dijkstra shortest-paths, then a constrained recursive solver that respects the four-pet capacity and limited gas. It reliably solves many levels (breaks on noisy screenshots) and typically runs in one to four seconds for level 12.
