Reading this maze

Shared latch starts at row 6, column 1. Of the 42 grid positions, 33 are paintable and 9 are walls. The start is already painted; the other 32 tiles remain to be reached.

Diamonds A at row 2, column 4 and row 1, column 4 toggle both barred cells marked A. Start right and stop at row 6, column 3. Both A gates share one state; either A diamond flips both together. The first slide covers 3 of 33 target tiles.

The verified opening crosses 2 tiles before stopping. A breadth-first search proves a 21-slide finish from this exact starting board; that is a reference target, not a move limit. You may revisit any painted tile.

Opening board for Shared latch: 33 paintable tiles, ball at row 6, column 1

Switch A is a diamond; gate A has bars when closed and a dashed outline when open. Entering the switch toggles it immediately, including during a slide. If you get trapped, undo or restart; Hint checks the current gate and painted-floor state.
