## Notes

GPL-3.0 reimplementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Reliability starts at 100% and drops every 256 ticks by the ride's unreliability factor plus an age penalty (one-eighth of it in year 1 up to double after 8 years); breakdown chance rises with reliability lost; weighted breakdown types, brake failure more likely in rain; inspection interval set by the player; repair restores reliability in proportion to its deficit.
