Hmm...couldn't you use something like the A* pathfining technique?

Assign numbers from your current location to destination, all going fown one number. Destination is 8 tiles away, where you are would be 8, destination would be 0. From 8 you move to 7, things like that, and you could only move from a bigger number to smaller. And assign -1 to onwall...

I been meaning to try making something like that, never bothered though, mainly because I want a 2d array =P. I know it can be simulated, but it would be spiffy to have 2d arrays.
