Tron Lightcycle Contest

Your challenge: Create a tron lightcycle that will survive the longest when placed into an "arena" with other lightcycles.

Starting points: A blank scratch project

Requirements:
* I will add in the script that destroys the lightcycles. (Remove it before you submit your sprite.)
* The lightcycle and its trail must both be BLACK.
* The lightcycle must be 1 pixel big. The pen size must be 1.
* The lightcycle must move at a speed of at least 500 steps per second.
* You are not allowed to use the go to or move to blocks.
* You may not use anything in the looks panel.
* Your lightcycle sprite must have your username.
* You may only use private (this sprite only) variables.
* You can not have or modify a variable named "alive" (i'll be using it in the kill script I add.)

Some things you might want to know:
* A lightcycle's trail will NOT be removed after it dies.

Submitting:
Create a blank project and place the sprite in.
Remove the sprite's kill script.
Upload the project.
Place your project into the Tron Lightcycle Contest Gallery.

I will provide an end date later.

Have fun Scratching!

Re: Tron Lightcycle Contest

I think that more detailed definition of "a TRON lightcycle" is needed.  What does it need to do?  what is the interface for the "killing"?

Re: Tron Lightcycle Contest

There should also be clarification on speed and size, since theoretically you could just sit there unmoving and wait for the enemy to crash into you.
