Terrain Reachability

Question

Turn-based tactics games like Advance Wars, Wargroove, and Fire Emblem are made up of a square grid of varying terrain with units of differing movement classes requiring different costs for each terrain type. We'll be investigating a subset of that problem.

Challenge

Your task is to determine if one location is reachable from another given a grid of terrain costs and a movement speed.

Units can only move orthogonally where the cost of moving onto a square is the value of the corresponding cell on the grid (moving off is free). For instance, moving from a cell valued 3 onto a cell valued 1 costs 1 movement, but going the other way requires 3. Some squares may be inaccessible.

Example

1 [1] 1  1  1
1  2  2  3  1
2  3  3  3  4
1  3 <1> 3  4

Moving from [1] to <1> requires a minimum of 7 movement points by moving right one square and then down three. Thus, if given 6 or less as the movement speed, you should output a falsy answer.

Example Test Cases

These will use top-left-origin zero-indexed (row, column) coordinates rather than bracketed cells for start and end to make parsing easier. Unreachable cells will be represented with X

Case 1a

1 1 2 1 X
1 2 2 1 1
2 1 1 2 1
X X X 1 2
Speed: 5
From (2, 3) to (0, 1)

Output: True

Case 1b

1 1 2 1 X
1 2 2 1 1
2 1 1 2 1
X X X 1 2
Speed: 4
From (2, 3) to (0, 1)

Output: False

Case 1c

1 1 2 1 X
1 2 2 1 1
2 1 1 2 1
X X X 1 2
Speed: 5
From (0, 1) to (2, 3)

Output: False

Case 2a

3 6 1 1 X 4 1 2 1 X
5 1 2 2 1 1 1 X 1 5
2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 X 1
2 1 1 3 1 2 3 4 1 2
1 1 2 1 1 4 1 1 1 2
3 2 3 5 6 1 1 X 1 4
Speed: 7
From (3, 4) to (2, 1)

Output: True

Case 2b

3 6 1 1 X 4 1 2 1 X
5 1 2 2 1 1 1 X 1 5
2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 X 1
2 1 1 3 1 2 3 4 1 2
1 1 2 1 1 4 1 1 1 2
3 2 3 5 6 1 1 X 1 4
Speed: 4
From (3, 4) to (2, 1)

Output: False

Case 2c

3 6 1 1 X 4 1 2 1 X
5 1 2 2 1 1 1 X 1 5
2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 X 1
2 1 1 3 1 2 3 4 1 2
1 1 2 1 1 4 1 1 1 2
3 2 3 5 6 1 1 X 1 4
Speed: 7
From (1, 8) to (2, 7)

Output: True

Case 3a

2 1 1 2
2 3 3 1
Speed: 3
From (0, 0) to (1, 1)

Output: False

Case 3b

2 1 1 2
2 3 3 1
Speed: 3
From (1, 1) to (0, 0)

Output: True

Rules, Assumptions, and Notes

• Standard loopholes are banned, I/O can be in any convenient format
• You may assume coordinates are all on the grid
• Movement speed will never be over 100
• Inaccessible cells may be represented with very large numbers (e.g. 420, 9001, 1 million) or with 0 or null, whichever is most convenient for you.
• All inputs will consist of positive integers (unless using null or 0 to represent unreachable cells)

Takes an array m of integers, with 'X' as a larger-than-100 value;, a speed a, m having width w and height h; and returns whteher we can start at the zero-indexed row/column cell (r,c) and get to the final cell (R,C).

The algorithm is a modified flood-fill. Slightly ungolfed code:

def f(m,a,w,h,r,c,R,C):
 T = [w*[999]for _ in ' '*h] # make an array same size as m, with all 
                             #   values 999, whose values will represent
                             #   the cost of getting to each cell.
 T[r][c] = 0                 # set the starting location to a cost of 0
 P = [(r,c)]                 # initialize a set of cells whose neighbors'
                             #   cost might need to be be updated
 j,k = 1,0                   # and also j,k which will take on values:

                             #  probe orthogonal neighbors
 for u,v in P:               # scan the cells in P
    for _ in '1234':         # look at each of 4 orthogonal positions
        U,V = u+j,v+k        # U and V get the indexes of a neighbor 
                             #   of the current cell.
        j,k = -k,j           # this 'rotates' the j,k pairing.
        if h>U>-1<V<w:       # if the coordinates are in bounds...
            q = T[U][V]      # save the current 'cost' of getting to cell (U,V)
                             # see if we can reduce that cost, which is calculated 
                             #   by taking the cost of the currently scanned cell

                             # if we can reduce the cost, add the neighbor
                             #   to P because **it's** neighbors might,
                             #   in turn, need updating.
            P += [(U,V)]*(q>T[U][V])
 return a>=T[R][C]           # return if speed is enough for the cost.

Not terribly fast; tries all paths until the speed units are exhausted, even retracing its steps. However, this avoids the need to check whether spaces are visited. Input is provided as [nrows, ncols],[start_row, start_col],[end_row, end_col],speed,flattened matrix column-major

An extremely inefficient full program accepting the terrain (with unvisitables as 101) then the start and end co-ordinates then the speed.

Try it online! (not much point trying most of the test cases!)

How?

Creates a list of all permutations of each of the power-set of "all terrain locations except the start & end", surrounds each of these with the start & end, filters to those which make only orthogonal moves of distance one, drops the start from each, indexes back into the terrain, sums each, takes the minimum, subtracts one and tests that this is less than the speed.
