When will we get a demo/alpha release of the current version?
Maybe when it gets into a semi-playable state. :P The AI in particular needs some tuning for this map.

Will the AI eventually be able to figure out where to go regardless of the map in the future? A map editor would be kinda cool once the game is released ^^

Map editor would be great!  Although i forsee lots of problems with the AI with the current system you have set up right now.  Perhapse it could have a basic waypoint method, but not as perfect as the one that is in the game.

yeah waypoint might be an idea, because even with some of the best AI, there could still be problems, for example, if you have a track with a jump but it'S hard to pass that jump, all AI cars could fall off the race, like what happened often in F-Zero X custom tracks

Could you have a "custom waypoint" option where the user places waypoints in the map editor and then have a default of default waypoints?

I don't know how you would do "default"... I think it would always have to be custom.

There might be a way to do default with some clever coding, but it would be tricky.  If worse comes to worse, would it work to have waypoints at every tile of the track? XD

That seems like it would cause a huge slowdown in the engine if was done that way. Not to mention that it would probably make the AI clunky and stupid as they'd be trying to course correct so often. I could be wrong though.

It depends on how the waypoint method works, i don't know.  Maybe after you add all the waypoints, it could remove some those that are directly between two others?  That way it would leave only the 'corners'?

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*
