/*
* Sphere Search is done iteratively in “Spheres” and is used to attempt to trace a path
* from the beginning to the end of the game. The first sphere s is simply all locations which are
* reachable from the beginning of the game. As it searches these locations, it adds key items
* found to a temporary set; we do not want those items to affect reachability until the next sphere
* iteration so we do not yet add them to I. After all reachable locations have been found, sphere s
* is added to the list of spheres S, and all items in the temporary set are added to I. It then
* iterates again with a new sphere s.
