Two bugs with one cause. The console draws into the map, so a message printed while flying was a message the lander then flew over - and printing scrolls, so every one of them moved the whole world up a row. The window is at a screen position and forty cells wide, and neither is true of it. So the window is two rows now: the gauge, and whatever there is to say. The letters are ordinary tiles, because the character generator starts at the space and glyph n is character n less thirty two. The rest of the row is blanked after every message, or a short one would leave the tail of a long one behind it. Opening the throttle wipes the line, because a message that outlived the moment would be read as describing this one. The crash still goes to the console, deliberately: it is the last thing the program says and it should survive the program. A or Start continues from a message as readily as a key does. Somebody flying on a controller should not have to reach for the keyboard to say they have read something. AND TWO TESTS WENT WITH IT, which is the interesting part. cosmosLanderSoft and cosmosLanderPadOne asserted on lines in a transcript, and the lines moved off the console - so both went on passing while checking nothing at all. A test that asserts a side effect rather than the thing itself is always one refactor from being decorative. What they were for is now checked in the picture, where the message actually is. The lander check moved earlier too. The window grew to two rows, so by 1.5 million cycles the lander had climbed behind the status bar - the window doing exactly what it should, and leaving the check counting six pixels of a forty pixel lander.
