has anyone ever created a program that solves a set of n-x-n tiles using a knight such that its next move won't come across the traversed tiles??

i know there's something magical when you put them on a 3 x 3 layout, the knight would just rotate its position from tile to tile and it will never reach the center.

if all moves fail then abort the process??

tnx in advance

i saw someone who placed stones on his traversed
path on a 4 x 8 board placing his knight on the low-right
corner(X):
