Hello everyone and welcome back to another round of Entelect Challenge!
We are really excited to bring you our 10th anniversary game this year, 2021!
However, as always when it comes to code, not all is perfect and sometimes we’ve made a mistake here or there.
If you come across what you think might be a bug, issue, or otherwise issue with the Game, please let us know below!
Feel free to open a GitHub issue with these issues you find, but please tag your relevant forum post in your GitHub issue.
Think you’ve found a fix? Awesome! Open an issue describing your problem on GitHub, and then open a pull request with your changes! The team will review it and get back to you!
Based on the rules:
Gas Clouds
Gas clouds will be scattered around the map in groupings of smaller clouds. Ships can traverse through gas clouds, however once a ship is colliding with a gas cloud it will be reduced in size by 1 each game tick. Once a ship is no longer colliding with the gas cloud the effect will be removed.
Asteroid Fields
Asteroid fields will be scattered around the map in groupings of smaller clouds. Ships can traverse through asteroid fields, however once a ship is colliding with a asteroid cloud its speed will be reduced by a factor of 2. Once a ship is no longer colliding with the asteroid field the effect will be removed.
Possible need for some clarification here. Based on the way this reads it sounds like the lost size will be added back to the ship once it leaves the asteroid/gas cloud, which wouldnt make much sense to me 
is the “effect” losing the “size per round”, or is the effect “size lost”.
I’m guessing the last sentance should be “Once a ship is no longer colliding with the asteroid field it will stop losing size each round” or “Once a ship is no longer colliding with the gas cloud the effect will be removed and stop losing size each round”.
Hello @cairnswm and welcome back to the challenge this year!
Your gut feeling is correct, the lost size will not be added back to the ship after the collision with the gas cloud. We will amend the rules and make this clearer. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
