Participant 6

Initial description: For each color block that is not black or blue, check if there is another color block of the same color in a direct line. If there is, fill all of the grid blocks between these two color blocks, including the grid blocks where the color blocks reside. If any line of connected grid blocks intersects with another, the intersection is filled with pink.
