Same as Tweet / cybertruck - it occurs in the next round.
Lizarding / jumping has no effect on avoiding EMP’s. Even if you use lizard, you will still be affected by EMP as normal.
No. You will wait until ether someone crosses the finish line, or max rounds limit is reached. Remember you can use the Fix command, and thus shouldn’t get stuck at a maximum speed of zero.
Correct, 1 damage = 1 less speed bracket. Not exactly 1 less speed “value”, rather 1 less in the array of total speed values.
No. Your minimum Damage is 0, and will remain as such. Using a Fix Command that will overrun your current damage will simply reset your damage to 0. i.e. if you have 1 damage and you use fix ( -2 damage ), you will have 0 damage
Let us know if this clears it up or if there’s anything still unclear!

Bug Fixes
Fixed bug where EMPs don’t get picked up when in the middle of players path for that round
Fixed bug where using a boost, lizard or oil powerup without having one causes the game-engine to crash
Thanks to everyone who helped with pull requests and reported issues!
Please let us know if you find anything odd in the *balancing of this config, we are open to tweak until *Tuesday 14 July 2020 @ 18h00. This deadline will solidify the final tweaks before the upcoming tournaments.
Hi, I’d just like some clarification on something - will our submissions for the third phase be used for the finals? Or is there a separate submission for the finals with different rules? Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but I couldn’t tell from the tournament info page at https://challenge.entelect.co.za/tournaments
Check the description on the tournament “Vrrrpa! Wanna dice chaana?”
Final Deadline: 23:59 08 August 2020
We have been meaning to move that to the top of the page or somewhere easier to find. Anyway that is the last point in time to submit a bot for the entire 2020 challenge. We will use the same submissions for the “Carmageddon” finals, so you won’t be able to change your bot after that final deadline.
Greetings!

Release notes:
Bug Fixes
Fixed bug where player can accelerate beyond max allowed speed (based on damage) after using a boost
Fixed bug where when boost expires player speed jumps to 9 regardless of damage
Fixed bug where player collisions cause player starting blocks that round to get counted twice:
if player on top of powerup they would get another power up
if player on top of obstacle they would get damaged again
Fixed bug where turning into a cyber truck did not trigger a collision with the cyber truck:
please note expected behavior is that player ends up behind cyber truck as per rules regarding colliding with a cyber truck
Fixed bug where colliding with a cyber truck could potentially cause player damage to exceed cap (5)
Fixed bug where if player moves to block where cyber then gets placed and fixes next round, player then collides with cyber truck. Now player will be unaffected by cybertruck
Fixed buggy behavior of EMP power up:
EMP did not affect both players the same way
EMP did not stop player hit in their tracks as specified in rules
Please note the expected effect of being hit by an EMP is as below
player hit does not move that round
player hit has speed reduced to 3 if moving faster than 3 speed

Please note we are still in an effective code freeze and thus any updates made are reserved for bugs that impede players ability to compete fairly against one another or use the mechanics as stated in the game rules.

Bug Fixes
Fixed bug where player 2’s speed would not be reduced to 3 if hit by an emp and player 2 chose to use an action that would increase their speed. The expected behavior (which now occurs) is a player hit by an emp does not move that round and have their speed reduced to 3 regardless of what action they chose to perform that round.
