I just tested a slightely updated multiplayer system (you can now see each other (as white cylinders (placeholder))), with a friend who lives a few kilometers away, and it worked. This means that the next public demo will almost certainly be a multiplayer game.

For displaying stuff in the final version (like laps, position etc), I will write my own routine, and probably use sprites for it instaed of the standard numbers. However for debugging purposes, I did it the easy way. And with dispHL, I also know for sure that it's working. But it does cause a noticable slowdown.

AaronBot2: You lost The Game.

I made my desision: I won't be participating in the contest.

Here's the source code and executable, enjoy.

It isn't finished yet, and I probably won't be able to even create an enjoyable demo in such a short time. What this means is that I probably am not going to participate in the contest, and when I'm sure of that, I'll make this project open-source, but will still continue working on it.

I just didn't have enough time with the exams in june, and my work in july. Too bad, because I really wanted to know how my programming skills compare to the rest here on omnimaga, and more importantely, if I could do better than last place.

Do you know about anything about numbers bigger than 65355? Are they 3 bytes or 4 or something like that?

Depends on how much bigger than 65355.
