 ## Problem.
 The AI runner should execute all the functions that the players provided, with the current user state, all user states, and game enrivonment as arguments.
 
 ## Constraints.
 * Prevent the user functions to modify anything except itself.
 * Catch executions errors, and simply return `null` as response to the Game Core.
+* Detect if any functions gets stuck in an infinite loop, and return `null` as response.
 
 ## Hypothesis.
 We can run the functions as WebWorkers because:

 The game is designed to make irrelevant the order of execution of the AIs. So we are safe running all this asynchronous.
 
+## Solution.
+To prevent the functions to take so much time thinking (probably because an infinite loop), we will create an array of `null`s, where we will put the responses of the workers as they arrive. If `X` seconds passes (enough time to think for almost everything, except infinite loops, of couse) then we will pass the `null`ified response of that worker, and the Game Core will kill that player.
