Wow, nice! My score for the "intended" solution was 12¥/482 power/18 LOC, that's pretty good.

My idea for this puzzle was to give the player a relatively complex specification, and severely limit the available space to force them to get a bit creative with their solution. Having the handle input right in the middle of the board makes things pretty tough, until you realize that there's actually a very simple way around that problem. ;) Glad you liked it!

This was a fun puzzle, all the way from figuring out how to get it working (the solution is a bit unusual) to figuring out how to optimize it down to 10/368/14 (no cheating involved :))
