New racing game. AI+Physics=RAGE/Fun?

You've all been waiting for it, haven't you? Well, here's the glitchy, early alpha version of that car game I said I was going to upload 2 days ago.

>KNOWN GLITCHES:

-Reverse lets you go through solids/boundaries (Can be easily fixed).

Try spinning out the AI cars ;P

Well, that's that - I've done what I needed to do, and now I NEED to go to bed. It's 3 in the morning! @_@

That's pretty cool. How are you doing the track rendering, textured paths?

I'm working on a multi-weapon system, powerups, and plenty more courses, vehicles, and upgrades :D

Of course, there isn't much there in terms of graphics - but once done, I'm hoping to hark back to the nostalgic days of Micro Machines and all those Pseudo-3D racers such as F-Zero (In this case, it's more like Top Gear, Mad Racer) - hence the trippy looking road, and the checkerboard green grass/carpet tiles.

And OL, you are quite correct - except I'm converting it into a d3d_model first, then drawing it with a tiled texture.

I've used 2 other models of the track to create the rumble-strips.

And that's it from me - I gotta go to bed. Have fun seeing if you can find glitches/break the AI :P

there are just enough sharp curves that when i past the last two guys i get thrown into the tires and end up in last again. it's pretty intense once you finally work up to the middle of the pack though.

you should add a nos/turbo button so my younger siblings can enjoy it lol

Pretty neat :D

The controls really felt very nice.

That pic sure looks nice, too bad I have linux and can't play it :(

The camera and controls were very smooth, but took some getting used to. I can't steer worth anything here.

The graphics are also nice. The only thing I can suggest is to lighten the car shadows a bit. But that's unimportant.

Overall, it's very nice. Worlds apart from my own attempt at making a racing game. I agree with Kilin that the shadows would be better if they were a little transparent, but they're fine as-is.

Wine is good for you. It's been proven.

So yea, I haven't tried many GM racing games. But this one has to be the best so far, even for an alpha. YOU WILL finish this! kthnx bai lol
