# Ant uses a modified BFS? It's basically a supercharged spider with limitlesss movement range
# Naive approach: BFS from all neighbours, don't go to already visited cells, check if can reach
# Maybe better: Get al "placecable tiles" from the map, go over those. Might be faster but more complicated
