In this race, you drive fast cars over a short
distance. There is a traffic light at the start, which
gives the start signal. This is about the fastest
reaction time. If you start only a moment too soon
or too late, you have no chance. In this game, the
traffic light consists of the LED strip with six points.
There are also two buttons for two players. The
programme is started with the connection D-F.
The traffic light shows a descending light point from
LED 6 to LED1. Exactly in that moment when the last
LED lights up, you need to press your start button.
The computer determines who pressed first and also
detects a false start, if someone pressed the button
too early. If player 1 won, one sound is played; if
player 2 won, two sounds are played. If there was
a false start, one or two low sounds are played.

The computer also counts the accumulated
points. The results are shown after ten game
rounds. LED1 shows the points for the first
player by lighting up as often as points were
made; LED 6 then shows the points for the
second player.
