TIS-100 Bench: Spatial Path Viewer

Draw connected line segments from angle–length pairs, starting at the upper-left corner. Each segment updates the next starting point.

In TIS-100 Bench, 16 LLMs each had one attempt at this TIS-100 puzzle, with 30 minutes to find a working program and keep improving it, without seeing the community leaderboard. 13 of 16 models solved it. Together they found 1 new Pareto-frontier point beyond the community leaderboard.
