Description
Twisted works ok for a while, but after about ten minutes of playing the game locks up. The amount of time it takes to lock up is not specific, and the screen it locks up on is also inconsistent. It does seem to lock up more often after "Wheel of Torture" than at other times, but it is not every time, and it will lock up even without the "Wheel of Torture".
The game has a timer for player turns, so finding the lock up can be done by either playing a game, or by starting a game and letting the computer take turns automatically.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the lockup through normal play and through automatic computer turns, noting the screen and whether it follows the Wheel of Torture. The payload names no source files, tests, or entry points, so tracing the relevant gameplay and timer paths will be necessary. Done means identifying and fixing the intermittent lockup and confirming extended play no longer hangs.
