The Train Game

by Philip Ross

The Train Game allows you to control trains through a section of track.   In this simulation you can control the points on the track.   If two trains crash into each other the game is over.

There are three levels of difficulty,  easy,  medium and hard.

Changing Points

Trains will travel only where track (red) or a point (yellow) is shown.   You need to set points to indicate the direction the  train should travel in.   If a point is set against an approaching train,  the train will stop.

To change a point you need to click on the button nearest the point,  or press the key indicated on the button.

Easy

You get six trains on screen at a time and you have to get each through the section without any crashes.


Medium

This is the same as easy except you will occasionally get an express train which has to leave on an indicated track.


Hard

This is the same as medium except you lose score if an express train stops.
