Nice! This is getting better and better. Has anything changed in your engine? I think I remember earlier you said grayscale would slow it down too much.

Nah, this particular method doesn't take up too much processing time. 3-level grayscale is relatively simple as compared to 4-level. Wink

I am impressed. That looks on par with the 68k version. Well, not quite, but then again yours isn't done yet. Though now that I think about it they are the same speed, and the z80s have a smaller screen. Hmm.

But seriously, that is AWESOME. I need to buy a new 83+ sometime...

WOWOWWOWOWOWOWOW.

Dude, that's hella brutal!

I think there's a little more room behind you then there should be because looking forward is a bit hard.

New screenshot, with a second ship going around in a circle. Also shows off the camera's ability to move up and down.

Great *.*

Just speculating:
Hitting in the limit of the road doesn't seem to work. Sprites are better. Changed a little bit the textures. What should be the limit of cars going around? 2? (no sprite masking) 10? 100?

And I would like to see the little rectangle that accelerated your car... The progress is sweet!

I'm planning on 4 cars total, like in the 68K version (which, naturally, is my inspiration for this Very Happy). Not sure what you're talking about with "hitting", but there is no collision detection whatsoever yet.

I still need to add depth sorting for drawing the cars, though, because currently they don't get drawn back-to-front.

Yes, collision detect. I hope it doesn't slow down things too much.

Will be made a tracks editor? And have other tracks, because going always going in circles, make us dizzy.

Well, collision detection is pretty fundamental. Otherwise the game is FAIL with near Big Rigs epicness. Okay, maybe not, but if you hit a wall, you should probably stop.

Oh, collision with the walls is definitely planned. How else are you supposed to lose energy and crash? Razz Not to mention the pains to avoid taking shortcuts...

New screenshot and demo!

Added acceleration, collisions with walls, and TI-Nspire compatibility.
The AI is just holding down accelerate and turning left, but I'm hoping to add real AI sometime soon.

Pretty sweet.

To make the turns look a little bit nicer, maybe you could make some sprites that are leaning to the left and to the right to make it look like you are turning in that direction.

I think that fact that he has a shadow is pretty impressive in and of itself...

Okay, that's it! This game is getting just too darn fun-looking! Very Happy Heck, I'd be pretty well-entertained just driving around like the AI.
