We are applying human intelligence to the problem too, using the arrow
keys. It is definitely not optimal, but it's more fun :)

(The A* and greedy search I tried earlier today failed utterly to even get
around the first corner of 1_Simple.trk, but several highly trained human
drivers have managed to finish all the tracks except the last, so far).

Cheers,

Michael
