for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
  int toX = fromX + mx[i];
  int toY = fromY + my[i];
  // ...
}

By this way, you can easily enumerate moving up/down/left/right instead of
writing them four times. It more efficient for coding and less probable to
introduce bugs (due to typo or copy/paste). It is a good practical to
replace similar logicals and duplicate blocks with loop.
