User Interface Functionality
Unfortunately, the embedded New Half-Turn descriptor values appear in the context of PGF's User Interface (UI). They are visually present in white letters on the screen with the black background ("NEW HALF-TURN") which displays some introductory information regarding the half-turn that is about to start. The Weather Conditions descriptor values are also displayed in-game on the upper-right portion of the screen.
