Crater

Drive the cyan rig and trade ballistic shots across a hillside that changes with every impact. Choose angle, power and shell, read the skyline wind flag, then adjust from the previous impact. Survive an endless succession of tougher artillery rivals.

Run and score

Score carries across unlimited duels until your rig is destroyed. Each victory earns a growing bonus. Both rigs return to their starting positions for the next opponent; your partial repair shrinks in later duels. Every opponent starts with two quakes, three needles and unlimited ordinary shells. Later rivals gain armor, damage and better aim. Results are local practice; no global leaderboard is connected yet.

Write your own approach

Launch with --script or type script to open your saved Bash workspace. Copy policy.sh, edit with nano, run chmod +x on your copy, then execute ./your-file.sh. fixtures selects three repeatable runs; standard returns to manual play. Stop cancels. gif, replay and receipt export local practice evidence. Saved files survive re-entry. These games do not submit ranked scores.

Use completed impacts and visible wind to improve power and shell selection.
