Instructions for the game Parking Assist Chicken (PAC)

What is it:

A (strictly) two player 'game of chicken': 
Who is the first to 'chicken out' and break while driving at each other?
The catch is: you're both going in reverse in the dark and you only have your 'parking assist' to guide you.
So you have to listen carefully to the beeps to gauge the distance from the opponent and break at the latest time.
You have a view of the throttle and speed.
Your chicken will flap, when you hit the breaks.

SCORING:

The distance travelled is your score, so drive as fast as you can.

But 
- if you are the first to stop your score is DIVIDED BY TWO
- if you crash into the other car your score is DIVIDED BY EIGHT (it doesn't count as a crash for you if you've already stopped as the other car crashes into you).

There are 5 rounds, winner is highest score after 5 rounds

CONTROLS:

For each joystick: 
Up is accelerate
Down is decelerate
Button is stopping

The game starts when the fire button on joystick port 2 is pressed.

TIP:
You can also play the game blind(folded). Unfortunately you can't see the results that way, there's not enough room in 4K for a speech synthesizer. 
Maybe I'll add that in a post-compo version.

PS: 
It is not possible to change the names after starting, you have to run the game again. Sorry about that. a proper restart took to many bytes.


Thanks to:

Roel for the music
