Same, except in 4-1 I used a recursive function to traverse each direction according to the offset decided by the selected direction (like SW is row++,col--) , due to functional programming induced brain damage.

Would have been pretty useful too if 4-2 turned out to be about finding longer patterns, instead of smaller and in half the directions.
