Two things:

• The input matrix is flattened
• You need to return an array, not int* outsz

Fun kata, vague instructions.

nice kata!

Lack of support for C# 12 is a general problem for the whole Codewars, and not an issue specific to this kata. Closing as not a kata issue. The support for C# 12 has already been requested.

Wen .Net 8.0 / C# 12 so we can use collection expressions and inline arrays ? …

Overall, a fun challenge, though I agree with those who are saying the test for the empty list goes against the instructions, as it is not n x n. Yes, there is a note about it and the fix is pretty trivial, but trying to explain it away as a design choice is just silly. It's a bad design choice.

Seems like you forgot to handle edge cases for [[]], OP solved it though, closing

Find repeating patterns in the algorithm, normalize it into some code statements. You do not need to go through all N squares and check whether each of them have been visited upon every iteration.

Wow, such a fun kata.

Amazing kata i am proud finishing this!

Could someone tell me what is that uncheated snail ? Is it an empty one ?

It seems the very last attempt (the 15th ?) crashes (signal 11 : SIGSEGV)

[EDIT]]finally got that last little devil...

Tried

def snail(array):
    return super(array)```to see if this is possible thank goodness it's not
