Clarification of valid moves in our camp
@365
Sorry for directly use your picture, but I believe more details should be clarified.

We need to move further away from [0,0] in this situation. However, what is the definition of the distance? In @365, only Green moves are valid, but why Blue moves are not valid?

the students answer, where students collectively construct a single answer
I believe blue is not valid because of the following statement in the addendum: To move further away, you should simply move so that you either move further away horizontally (while not moving closer vertically), or vertically (while not moving closer horizontally), or both.
In the blue moves, the piece is moving closer vertically or horizontally which violates the rule.

Sorry I dont get why the blue moves are invalid? We can move the piece further away from the corner either horizontally or vertically and the blue actions move the piece away from the corner horizontally or vertically.
Yuming Huang 3 days ago see Addendum, and you can find a note to clarify it:)
I mean, if we compute the distance like geometrical distance, then Blue moves are valid.(d(Blue_moves) is 2 and d(B) is the square root of 2) The only situation that Blue will be invalid is d = (x-0)+(y-0), then Blue moves will have the same distance as the origial piece.
I need some clarification on this important issue, and please let me know if I am correct to use geometrical distance, thanks! ______________________
Update, sorry for this post, I missed something from the Addendum. Only Green moves are valid
