  • Formula 2 - Apolyton

    Link to Formula 1 thread.

    Our players are as follows:
    (S) Spaced Cowboy
    (P) Pave
    (A) ADG
    (F) Frozzy
    (r) Rasputin
    (a) Alva
    (j) Jonny
    (J) Jamski
    (D) Drogue
    (R) Rah

    Please note that these symbols are case-sensitive.

    Rules
    The game is turn-based. Each of the two drivers issues two orders for each turn. Possible orders are as follows:

    1. Change speed:
    a. Accelerate - add one to speed
    b. Decelerate - subtract one from speed
    c. Don't change speed

    2. Steer:
    a. Left
    b. Right
    c. Don't change direction

    Added:
    * Each player also has 5 wildcards, which they can use to double their change in speed or double their turn rate. Multiple wildcards can be used in a single round.
    * Steering can now be controlled much finer.
    Turning (moving to the left or right) will always move you forward 1 square, but you can now influence when this move takes place.
    Say your speed is 3, and you want to go right without changing speed. You send this order in.
    Code:
    ..
    .o
    ..
    Y.
    
    Y = you
    o = oil slick
    By default you would move:
    Code:
    .3
    .2
    .1
    Y.
    which unfortunately takes you through a known oil slick.

    If, with your order, you specified to mmr (move, move, right), then your movement would look like this:
    Code:
    .3
    2o
    1.
    Y.
    Allowing you to bypass the oil.
    If you don't specify when do your turn, it will by default be done on the first move.

    A complete order may look like this: (current speed of 4)
    "Accelerate left+1
    mmlml"
    This will move the car forward twice, diagonally left, once more forward and then diagonally left once more, and uses up one wildcard.
    Code:
    ..5
    .4.
    .3.
    2..
    1..
    Y..
    * Oil slicks
    There are 6 hidden oil slicks on this track. They are 5 or more lines apart from each other. These move you 1 space to the left or right randomly. After the first person has hit an oil slick, it is exposed to the rest of the racers.

    * Orders are to be PMed to me. They are not being made public this time. Its not like that helped preventing collisions last time, anyway.

    And with that, lets start!

    Code:
                        ....
                       ....
                      ....
                      ....

                    ........
                   ..........
                   ..........
                   ..........
    ---------------RjrASPFaJD--------------- - Start/Finish line
                   ..........
                   ..........
                   ..........
                    ........

          Post "Acclerate Left" for example, unless you want to try something special.

            thanks jamski..

            can we do more than one steer per turn if we want to cut across the road.

            or is it just two commands we enter each turn

                Yesh, you can do more than one steer, but it will use up one of your wild cards (you only have 5) you can accellerate or break by more than one too, if you want to use up wild cards too.

                Then you could have "Accellerate Left(+1)" or "Accellerate(+1) Left" for example.

                  Starting speed is 3.

                  These examples assume a starting speed of 3.
                  EG1: A message such as "accelerate+1 left" is valid. This will move you 1 square left and 5 squares above your current position, using up a wildcard.
                  EG2: If you want to use up 2 wildcards to accelerate, "accelerate+2 left" will do.
                  EG3: Want to move 2 spots left and keep your current speed? "Steady speed left+1"
                  Code:
                  eg1     eg2     eg3
                  ....    .6..    ....
                  .5..    .5..    ....
                  .4..    .4..    ....
                  .3..    .3..    3...
                  .2..    .2..    2...
                  .1..    .1..    .1..
                  ..Y.    ..Y.    ..Y.
                  Optionally, you can specify when your move to the left/right is made as well as the above orders. For eg3 "steady speed left+1", this could be mll or lml or llm.
                  Code:
                  3...    3...    3...
                  .2..    .2..    2...
                  ..1.    .1..    .1..
                  ..Y.    ..Y.    ..Y.
                  This allows you to potentially avoid obstacles or track sides.

                  Hope this makes things clearer.

                    Additional notes:
                    Collisions cut the person in front's speed in half. The person who caused the collision gets a speed of 0. If both players were at the same level on the previous round, then the first person to get their orders in is considered the one in front.

                    As a side-note, Jamski and Rah have been placed just about as far from each other as possible to prevent similar antics to last game.

                        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                            ADG, speed 4, 5 wildcards
                            Rasputin, speed 3, 5 wildcards
                            Alva, speed 4, 5 wildcards
                            Jamski, speed 5, 4 wildcards
                            Drogue, speed4, 5 wildcards

                            Everyone else's speed is still 3, and have 5 wildcards.
