A Swift port would be welcome please. :)

Please, help. I don´t know if its a language barrier or if I'm not that familiaryzed with this kind of problem, but I can't understand what kind of data I'm recieving a what I have to find.

Scala translation

Can anyone tell me why 'global' ,I tried 'local' in i_am_here and can't pass test

I don't see any description in the details. Are we supposed to reverse engineer the task from the tests? Love this series, but not sure why the description in this one doesn't describe the kata.

wtf, why if i go "if(maze==".") return true;", in tests it returns false?? but if i go like "if(maze==".") return 1010;", then it returns 1010! Then how i can solve this kata in java?

Well I'm clearly not understanding something.

Why is this supposed to be 7 climb rounds?

2-1 + 7-2 + 9-7 = 8 by my logic.

NxN goes up to?

Honestly, I've been trying hard for a few hours. And the only problem I have is the optimization problem : impossible to get it done in less than 12s.
I can understand that some people naturally find a sufficiently optimized solution.
But I think that for some people like me, who don't know anything about optimization, this kata is very frustrating : quite easy to find a solution that works but that won't get the job done in time.

Anyway, for these reasons, I think this kata should be tagged with "Optimization". This way, it would make it clear to the people that it is not just a matter of algorithms.
Also, it could avoid to get people working on solutions thinking "I don't care about the optimization of my system" and then start from scratch because they did not consider it at first.
