The display of the MINIMALISM analyzer

The fish and the movements of the water in

Depending on the equipment, the fish is

shown with efficient and inefficient driving

The more efficient the driving style, the less

the water sloshes around in the bowl and

the better is the fish's mood. If the driving

style is inefficient, the water oscillates, the

fish's mood worsens, and a reduced number

of stars is displayed.

The table of values contains stars and evalu-

the more stars are displayed in the table.

The bonus range achieved by a driving style
