I'm not so sure that will work because I need to go right left right right left like that.

your solution looks like once it decided on the left path it would stay on the left path.


(Never mind the above, I read the code wrong. Whoops)

Unfortunately what I think i need is a state machine inside a single while loop, which is rough

While loops inside while loops aren't necessarily performance killers. It depends on how much the while loop is executed and in this case it doesn't matter because for every iteration it was making a function call anyway.

No matter what you do, the correct non-recursive implementation will be at least as, or more likely, more efficient than this version.

The reason is you're using less stack overall and doing the exact same number of pass throughs.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
