Indexing Cha-Cha Slide

Question

Introduction:

Although I originally had a Dutch song in my head, where the lyrics are: "Doe 'n stapje naar voren, en 'n stapje terug" (which translated to "Take a little step forward, and a little step back"), when I searched for the full lyrics, I realized they only got back and forth, and never sideways.

So, instead I now use the lyrics of Mr C The Slide Man a.k.a. DJ Casper - Cha-Cha Slide for this challenge.

If we ignore everything else and only look at the words "left", "right", "back", and "hop" (I counted "hop" as forward) including the mentioned amounts, the full song will have the following list (I'm using the abbreviations LRBH here):

LBHRLLBHRLBHHRRLLLRLBHHHHRRLLLBHHHHHRLRLRLHRLLBHHLRLBHH

Here the full song lyrics in a hideable JavaScript code-snippet (to save space), where the moves and amounts are surrounded with blocked brackets:

To the [left], take it [back] now y'all
One [hop] this time, [right] foot let's stomp
[Left] foot let's stomp, cha cha real smooth

Turn it out, to the [left]
Take it [back] now y'all
One [hop] this time, [right] foot let's stomp
[Left] foot let's stomp, cha cha now y'all

Now it's time to get funky
To the [right] now, to the [left]

Challenge:

Now onto the challenge itself. We take one, two, or three inputs †. One of them is a list of index-integers (so either non-negative for 0-indexed; or positive for 1-indexed). (The other inputs are optional and explained in the challenge rules.)

Every test case will start at a position {x=0, y=0}.
Now use the lyrics-list of moves and remove all moves at the given indices of the input-list. Then 'walk' over the moves (up to the largest index of the input-array) and output the position you'll end up at.

The moves will change the coordinates as follows:
- R: x+1
- L: x-1
- H: y+1
- B: y-1

Challenge rules:

• The moves-list can be accessed any way you'd like. †: Can be an additional input; can be in a separated file on disk you'll read from; can be in a class-level variable you access. It will have to be in the form of L, R, B and H though (can be a string or character-list/array), so you cannot save the moves-list as 1s and -1s or integers.
• The moves-list given above is hard-coded and will always be the same. (Which is also why it's fine to put it as class-level field instead of taking it as an input if this helps the byte-count of your answer.)
• Input-list can be both 0-indexed or 1-indexed (up to you)
• We only 'walk' the moves up to and excluding the largest index of the list.
  • †: You are also allowed to take this last item as separated integer input, instead of the last item of the input-array.
• Output of the x and y coordinates we end up at can be in any reasonable format (integer-array containing two items, delimited string, printed to STDOUT on two separated lines, etc.)
• You can assume the input-list is sorted from lowest to highest (or highest to lowest if that's what you prefer, in which case the first item is the initial size of the moves-list - if not taken as separated input). And it also won't contain any duplicated indices.
• If the largest index of the input-list is larger than the list of moves above (55 moves are in the moves-list above), we wrap around to the beginning of the list again (as many times as necessary depending on the largest index of the input).
• You are allowed to output y,x instead of x,y, but please specify this in your answer if you do.

Example:

Input: [0,4,8,10,13,14,27,34,42,43,44,50,53,56,59,60,64]

Here the moves and (0-indexed) indices above one-another:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64
L, B, H, R, L, L, B, H, R, L, B, H, H, R, R, L, L, L, R, L, B, H, H, H, H, R, R, L, L, L, B, H, H, H, H, H, R, L, R, L, R, L, H, R, L, L, B, H, H, L, R, L, B, H, H, L, B, H, R, L, L, B, H, R, L

Removing the indices of the input-list, we'll have the following moves-list remaining:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9,11,12,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,28,29,30,31,32,33,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,45,46,47,48,49,51,52,54,55,57,58,61,62,63
B, H, R, L, B, H, L, H, H, L, L, L, R, L, B, H, H, H, H, R, R, L, L, B, H, H, H, H, R, L, R, L, R, L, L, B, H, H, L, L, B, H, L, H, R, B, H, R

Now if we walk from position {0, 0} over the remaining moves, we'll have the following new coordinates after every move:

{0,0};B,{0,-1};H,{0,0};R,{1,0};L,{0,0};B,{0,-1};H,{0,0};L,{-1,0};H,{-1,1};H,{-1,2};L,{-2,2};L,{-3,2};L,{-4,2};R,{-3,2};L,{-4,2};B,{-4,1};H,{-4,2};H,{-4,3};H,{-4,3};H,{-4,5};R,{-3,5};R,{-2,5};L,{-3,5};L,{-4,5};B,{-4,4};H,{-4,5};H,{-4,6};H,{-4,7};H,{-4,8};R,{-3,8};L,{-4,8};R,{-3,8};L,{-4,8};R,{-3,8};L,{-4,8};L,{-5,8};B,{-5,7};H,{-5,8};H,{-5,9};L,{-6,9};L,{-7,9};B,{-7,8};H,{-7,9};L,{-8,9};H,{-8,10};R,{-7,10};B,{-7,9};H,{-7,10};R,{-6,10}

So the final output will be: {-6, 10}

General rules:

• This is code-golf, so shortest answer in bytes wins.
  Don't let code-golf languages discourage you from posting answers with non-codegolfing languages. Try to come up with an as short as possible answer for 'any' programming language.
• Standard rules apply for your answer, so you are allowed to use STDIN/STDOUT, functions/method with the proper parameters and return-type, full programs. Your call.
• Default Loopholes are forbidden.
• If possible, please add a link with a test for your code.
• Also, adding an explanation for your answer is highly recommended.

->a{([*0..a[-1]]-a).sum{|c|-1i**(m[c%55].ord%19)}.rect}

Try it online!

Explanation:

The main trick is using complex numbers to represent moves: 'B' is -i, 'H' is +i, 'L' is -1 and 'R' is +1. If we convert all the moves into complex numbers, then with a single sum we get the right result.

I tried different ways, but then I found the magic number 19: we don't need to fiddle with regex matching because:

B  is ASCII 66; 66%19=9  and i^9  = i
H  is ASCII 72; 72%19=15 and i^15 =-i
L  is ASCII 76; 72%19=0  and i^0  = 1
R  is ASCII 82; 82%19=6  and i^6  =-1

So, put that all together, sum, invert the sign, and we're done.

Answer 3

JavaScript (ES6), 85 bytes

As per the challenge rules, this code expects the global-scope string m to hold the list of moves. (Saving 3 bytes, as suggested by @KevinCruijssen.)

Takes input as a list of 0-based indices, ordered from lowest to highest.

a=>a.map(g=i=>j++<i&&g(i,p=m.search(m[~-j%55])*3%5,x+=--p%2,y-=--p%2),j=x=y=0)&&[x,y]

Try it online!

How?

Each move character is converted to its position in the move string "LBHR...". We multiply the result by 3 and apply a modulo 5, which gives p. We then have:

• dx = ((p-1) mod 2)
• dy = -((p-2) mod 2)

Where the sign of a mod b is that of a.

 character | position | * 3 | mod 5 | dx | dy
-----------+----------+-----+-------+----+----
    'L'    |     0    |  0  |   0   | -1 |  0
    'B'    |     1    |  3  |   3   |  0 | -1
    'H'    |     2    |  6  |   1   |  0 | +1
    'R'    |     3    |  9  |   4   | +1 |  0

a->m->{var r=new int[2];for(;m-->0;)r[s[m%55]/73]-=a.add(m)?s[m%55]*3%5-2:0;return r;}

Takes the maximum as additional input; moves-list is a character-array on class-level.

Explanation:

a->m->{              // Method with Integer-Set & int parameters and int-array return
  var c=new int[2];  //  [x,y] result-array, starting at {0,0}
  for(;m-->0;)       //  Use the `m` input as index, and loop in the range (`m`, 0]
    r[s[m%55]/73]-=  //   Subtract from either x or y based on the character:
     a.add(m)?       //    If the input-set doesn't contain the current index `m`:
      s[m%55]*3%5-2  //     Modify the x or y coordinate based on the character
     :               //    Else:
      0;             //     Leave the x or y coordinate unchanged
  return r;}         //  Return count(R)-count(L) and count(H)-count(B) as result

s[m%55]/73 maps to either the x or y coordinate depending on the character (Try it online):

Letter    Unicode value    /73

B         66               0
H         72               0
L         76               1
R         82               1

s[m%55]*3%5-2 maps to the correct +1 or -1 depending the character (Try it online):

Letter    Unicode value    *3     %5    -2

B         66               198    3     1
H         72               216    1     -1
L         76               228    3     1
R         82               246    1     -1
