+   + Breaking Change +

+

+ The roadLength game input variable used to be the + cardinal number of positions the troll could be in. That's the + way it was presented in the original game, but I leaned more + towards distances to make the I/O protocol easier on beginners. + So it's currently inconsistent. +

+

+ This is going to change in the following days to be a distance + everywhere, more in line with the protocol's other measures. + Not to mention being somewhat more consistent with the variable + name. Thanks + + @Snef + + for reminding me of this. +

+

+ If you used this variable, I suggest you temporarily used one + of these workarounds so you don't get bit by the upcoming + change: +
