I realized the Computron was making a slight error. It was scoring Jolly Ranchers differently depending on what house they came from. I fixed it and redid a few scores. It only made a difference of 1 point, but I don't want to overly confuse people.

I offer to sell Ignatius route to the other kids in the town. If they give me a third of their candy each (as weighted by the point system) I'll tell them the route and how they can increase their candy haul to fourteen candies and some money. If there is at least one kid per house-that-isn't-offering-poison-apples I'm pretty sure I just broke this whole "Trick or Treat' system over my loving knee. On the other hand my points will almost certainly mostly be in reject candy.

very cool! but there is a bug, it displays and stores the highest scoring route correctly but doesn't appear to store the highest score itself. all it displays is the score for the most recent game instead (in the spot where you'd expect the highest score to be) as below:

"You visited 2 houses: 17 20
Your haul:
1 Jolly Rancher
1 Twix Bar
Score: 11

Your high score is 11 with route: 8,4,7,9,6,2,1,5,10,13,11,14,15,19,16,12,17,20,18"

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

I had a suspicion about this earlier with the spooky ghost, and now I think I'm either at or very nearly at the max score with having picked up an extra treat from the skeleton on the right side of the map unless I'm missing something else.

18,8,4,7,9,6,2,1,5,10,13,11,14,15,19,16: high score 74 points

Thanks for putting this together, I like it a lot. I'll probably mess with it some more to see if I can shake any more candy out of it.

Glad you like it. Yeah the skeleton was the last big game mechanic to be discovered. Now it's just a matter of finding the best route. I added "distance traveled" which should help.

edit: to be clear, I don't know what the highest possible score is since it's kinda hard to solve for that, but I know you can get a bit higher
