There is a small trick that makes the Zoooom room a little easier.  As
you are moving (rather quickly) around the squares, you will actually
spend two 'cycles' on the corner squares: one cycle to get onto the square,
and one to turn to the next square.  This means that, if you can
notice when you reach the corner marked 'X', press the right arrow key
(to do a sidestep).  The reaction time will account for the time it
takes the square to turn you 90 degrees.  This should leave you where
you want to be.

Happy zooooming!
