Suppose that there is a ForestGrid and one player who has to start his hunt from an initial position in the grid and to reach to the last grid of the ForestGrid to obtain the treasure. But unfortunately, there are certain obstacles coming his way which will lead him to a different grid rather than following an optimal path to reach near the treasure. The obstacles could be a wild animal or an end point in the forest which will get discovered later after reaching that point. For the player to reach the treasure he will have to avoid the grid containing wild animals and take another optimal move than the current one. In the scenario where the end point arrives the player will have to take 2 steps backward and find an optimal move to start his hunt.
