  I see it's a race car around a track simulation.  At any step you
(your program) can accelerate, brake, turn, and they supply equations
for where you'll be next.  The object is to get around the arbitrarily
shaped) track to the goal fastest, without going into the fence enroute.
Sounds like an Ada type of problem.
