JTforME V55 — MODERN ARCADE EXPANSION
Release date: August 31, 2026
Package type: Complete root-flat replacement site

SUMMARY

V55 adds three original, full browser games to the source-linked JTforME publication while preserving every path from the V54 complete-site package:

1. Carpooling to Hell: The Procedural Grand Prix
2. The Maine Law Court Kangaroo Record Hop
3. Admonish the Parent — York Judicial Center

The Public Accountability Arcade now contains 21 unique scored games across 22 visible attractions. The difference remains intentional: the two dunk-tank presentations share one progress identity.

NEW GAME 1 — CARPOOLING TO HELL: THE PROCEDURAL GRAND PRIX

Placement:
- /carpooling-to-hell-book#procedural-grand-prix
- /public-accountability-arcade#game-carpool-race

Mechanics:
- Three-lane, top-down canvas racing.
- Three route exits across a 2,400-mile satirical circuit.
- Steering by Arrow keys or A/D, touch controls, mouse/pointer controls, and canvas tapping.
- Hold Arrow Up, Space, or the on-screen Boost control to accelerate.
- Collect child-contact, therapy, school-support, records-access, and workable-order pickups.
- Dodge rejection loops, delay, no-response barriers, paywalls, remand loops, and other procedural hazards.
- Vehicle integrity, boost, distance, countdown clock, score, persistent local best, pause, restart, help, optional synthesized sound, and reduced-motion handling.
- Completion awards 20 arcade tickets once.

NEW GAME 2 — THE MAINE LAW COURT KANGAROO RECORD HOP

Placement:
- /maine-supreme-judicial-court-accountability#kangaroo-record-hop
- /public-accountability-arcade#game-kangaroo-appeal

Mechanics:
- Side-scrolling canvas platform game with an original drawn kangaroo and courthouse environment.
- Jump and double-jump with Space/Arrow Up or the on-screen button.
- Duck with Arrow Down and sprint with Arrow Right or corresponding touch controls.
- Collect the five appellate argument elements in the pouch: ISSUE, STANDARD, RECORD, PREJUDICE, and RELIEF.
- Clear No Transcript, Moot, Denied, Not Presented, and No Record Cite fences.
- Record integrity, distance, pouch status, score, persistent local best, pause, restart, help, optional synthesized sound, and reduced-motion handling.

NEW GAME 3 — ADMONISH THE PARENT

Placement:
- /york-judicial-center-ecourt-accountability#admonish-the-parent
- /public-accountability-arcade#game-admonish-parent

Marquee line:
- “No parent goes un-admonished without due cause.”

Mechanics:
- Timed five-window courthouse reaction game.
- Move the gavel with Arrow Left/Right, click or tap a window, or use number keys 1–5.
- Stamp the active child-help request with Space, Enter, the main Admonish control, or direct window selection.
- Fourteen-request quota in a 45-second shift.
- Requests include contact implementation, therapy time, school records, hearing scheduling, audio access, transportation logistics, attendance, and provider access.
- The satirical “due cause generator” supplies labels after each successful stamp while the underlying child-help queue remains the point of the game.
- Score, countdown clock, quota, local best, pause, restart, help, optional synthesized sound, responsive controls, and reduced-motion handling.
- Completion awards 20 arcade tickets once.

ARCADE AND PROGRESS INTEGRATION

- New progress IDs:
  - carpool-race
  - kangaroo-appeal
  - admonish-parent
- The existing V52 progress bridge and localStorage record are preserved.
- Each V55 game awards tickets only on its first completion in a browser.
- Repeated completions do not duplicate tickets.
- Completion survives a page reload on the same browser/device.
- No account, analytics stream, remote score service, or game telemetry was added.

PUBLICATION AND SOURCE BOUNDARIES

- All three games are overt editorial satire.
- The road course is a metaphor for irrecoverable child time and procedural friction; it does not adjudicate legal error.
- “Kangaroo” is a visual pun and institutional metaphor; it is not a factual finding that any tribunal is unlawful, illegitimate, or biased.
- The York game recognizes that actual threats, harassment, and prohibited contact may warrant intervention. Its satirical point is that admonishment does not itself implement a child-focused request.
- Signed orders, official dockets, native correspondence, source-linked exhibits, contrary material, corrections, and right-of-reply procedures remain controlling.
