Yes, but I think we’re talking about a very small percentage. The vast majority will just go “man, that sucks” and continue using it because they’re too lazy to leave their comfort zone. Most users don’t even change the default browser, which is arguably one of the easiest things to change.
Shoot a ray to the right, if and when it collides, shoot a ray to the right, …
You know, recursion.
That’s what I meant with the second part of my reply. With a recursion depth of at least 4 it’ll detect the option for a loop at the location of the ^.
I’m only casting a ray to detect where turning right now would lead. So to stick with your example:
.O..
-^+#
#++.
..#.
If the guard had come from the left and run this little loop I’d detect this location to place an obstacle.
Alternatively, if I switch back to recursive rays, I’d detect this location a little later:
.O..
.^.#
#|..
.|#.
But honestly, how do you talk to those people? They’re so caught up in their us-versus-them mentality and think they have the monopoly on truth, that I don’t see any way of convincing them that they’re not only making a potentially fatal mistake but are a danger to those around them.
They don’t need to change it to chrome, they’re already using it. Every browser except for Firefox, with its derivatives, and Safari are Chrome. Plus a few more esoteric choices that are nowhere near daily-driver ready.
