Ride out, loop back home, and everything you enclosed is yours to hold. Cross a rider's tail while they're out and they lose it all. Most land when the next BLAKE2b block is mined takes the round.
One press rides you straight in, in that grid's own mode. Every card is what riders said about themselves in a signed presence beacon that expires in two minutes — eight seats is a courtesy, not a rule.
A grid is a name two riders agreed on. The invite link carries the grid, the mode, the drone count and whether it is listed. Classic, Combat and Rampart grids with the same name are separate worlds. Rampart runs a repeating build → fortify → bombard cycle: claim land, then place 2x2 cannon emplacements scaled to your territory, then shell rivals — scorched cells can't be reclaimed until the next block.
Round over. New block: the grid is wiped and everyone starts from a plot.
Every row is a kind 2112 event signed by that rider's npub. Tap a rider for their profile and BLAKE2b wallet.
| W A S D | steer (no U-turns: you cannot reverse into your own tail) |
| ↑ ← ↓ → | steer, same as WASD |
| space | boost 0.8 s, 3.5 s cooldown (bar at the bottom) |
| F | fire a bolt ahead of you — Combat grids only, 2.5 s cooldown |
| ↑ ← ↓ → / drag | Rampart grids, while fortifying or bombarding: look around the board. Your rider is frozen, so the same keys scroll the view instead of steering; a tap still places or fires |
| Z / scroll | Rampart grids, while fortifying or bombarding: pull back to see the shape of the board. Z cycles three levels, the scroll wheel is continuous, and both stop at the whole grid. Build zooms you back in |
| swipe | steer in the swipe direction |
| tap | boost |
| pinch | Rampart grids, while fortifying or bombarding: zoom out to the whole grid and back. Drag with one finger to look around |
| FIRE button | fire a bolt (Combat grids only) |
| home screen | installable as an app (standalone PWA) |
| B | drones on / off |
| [ ] | one fewer / one more drone (0–7) |
| drones | three classes — drifter wanders and never looks back, steady claims and retreats, sharp will come and cut your tail. The leaderboard shows what each one is doing and why. |
| I | copy the invite link for this grid |
| L | leaderboard |
| C | this panel |
| esc | close any panel |
| claim | leave your land, loop back in; the tail and everything it encloses is yours |
| cut | cross a rider's tail while they are out and they lose everything |
| shoot | Combat grids: a bolt flies ~20 cells in your heading and wipes out the first rider it touches; kills lead the board |
| rampart | Rampart grids: cycle through 🏗️ build (ride and claim), 🎯 fortify (tap a 2x2 block of your own land to place cannons scaled to your territory; a tap on a placed cannon picks it back up), 💥 bombard (tap enemy land to shell it). Scorched cells lose their owner and can't be reclaimed — hold the most land when the block lands |
| die | touch your own tail, the edge, or stretch a tail past 500 cells |
| round | one BLAKE2b block; most land when the next block lands wins |
