(Note new weather sign placement - the leading edge of the sign is now the leading edge of the weather, and the bar shows how far it persists. This probably won’t work on a diagonal straight.)

Congratulations, you’ve managed to provoke a bug in the software (specifically one of the riders is getting deleted in the three-down-to-two slipstreaming squeeze). I’ll fix this in the morning.

That means everybody gets two Exhaustion Cards, right? :grinning:

I’m sure we all remember the incident that took place during the 1978 Tour de France where 8 cyclists just ceased to exist… No, wait, we don’t, do we? :thinking:

What Roger didn’t mention before this started was the title of this tour is actually, “Tour de Beta: Enter the Thunderdome”.

Only one rider will make it out!

Ontological racing is best racing. I think it’s sorted now, though. But please check!

What went wrong

The way I had coded slipstreaming was: having already established that you’re participating in a slipstream move, if the space directly in front of you exists (aligning all spaces to the right), then move directly forward. Otherwise (e.g. 3 lanes into 2 and you’re in the left lane), move to the right.

What it should have been (and now is): if the rightmost space in the row in front of you is empty, move into it. Otherwise decrement one space at a time (i.e. moving left across that row, then back into your current row) until you find an open space. (Or until you get back to the space you’re currently in, which should never happen, but I don’t want riders “slipstreaming” backwards…)

What provoked the failure was that in the first slipstream block (red R to white R), green G and P crammed into the 2-lane section and white S moved to the right in their current square, which is fine, but then black P and pink P moved directly forward (because they were not moving into a restricted width, so used the “space in front exists” test) and overwrote white S.
