Hmm, I wonder... How good would it look if you were to have the camera follow a little bit behind the car while it turned to it seems to turn a little bit...

AI racing? Much yes.



Also, it's counting the laps for all the cars (nothing shows this though).

do you mean have the camera closer to your car? If so, personally I kinda would prefer this too, as you could see more in front of you.  Most racing games have your car completly at bottom of the screen or the view is from inside the car.

Either way, awesome that you,re still working on this calc84 :) nice screenies

Nice work Calc84 :D
@ Eeems, you mean you'd actually be able to see a bit of the side of the ship?
in other terms, other sprites while turning?

No pressure, but you only have a month or two to finish this if you want to have two projects up for POTY in the same category ;)

Lol true, altough IMHO it would be better if this didn't got featured before December, because he'll have 3 entries, which will cause all votes on his own programs to be dilluted between all 3, removing his chances to win. I remember what happened in 2005 when I had both Reuben RPGs and my XXR game included in the POTY poll.

I forgot that he will also be competing against TI-Boy :D

[edit] Just for posterity: my first post was talking about Chip's vs. F-Zero (I'm not as clueless as I am I seem :P)

Split-screen :)
Car on top is me, car on bottom is AI.



And turning cars might be more easily achieved by shifting one side of the sprite so it's higher or lower than the rest, instead of making whole new sprites. Not sure if that would look good though... just a quick idea.

I like the shifting idea, you should try it, it might actually look good.  And awesome you got split-screen to work ^^

Do you think linkplay would be possible and fast enough?

Also in single player mode will the car always be at the bottom of screen too? I still think it would be better looking than the car at the center

With link play, I'll probably only have to send less than a byte per frame at the most - I'll just send the keypresses over. :D

aaah ok. I always wondered with linkplay if people simply sent the keypresses or the other player variable contents (X,Y,Z positions, lap, etc)

I think it would actually differ from game to game. In this case, however, there aren't any random numbers and such to mess up synchronization - hopefully the same game logic will occur on both calcs.
