Me again with another lua game for the nspire.
This is the result of me playing around with the built-in physics engine in lua. In the current state the game is playable, but lacking important elements, such as score, upgrades, different cars and better graphics.
What is implemented right now:
- car controlled with the arrow keys
- generated landscape wich adds to the front and removes its back
- bad vehicle physics

Planned features include:
- proper vehicle physics
- highscores
- upgrades
- different cars
- different tracks
- fuel
- death which ends the game
(basically the stuff from Hill Climb Racing)

Screenshots:

Looks quite cool. I can't try it though since I have OS 3.1

I would kepp downward compatibility, if the physics engine would be included in older versions. I'm sorry

Will it be like the bike game in California's Games? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Games

Well at the moment I have no plans of how exactly the vehicles should look like. And I thought of this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fingersoft.hillclimb

I think he means that for the time being he hasn't implemented good one yet.

Haha, if your car gets stuck, just spawn like 50 cars under it to fling it forward
Anyways, great job!

You can, I just tried it out
Probably just temporary for testing the physics

You can even spawn blue balls. But I won't tell you how  (and I'm not sure if it would work on a real calc insted of the emulator)
Anyway, this is just a temporary feature and as the game is stil in an early stage I decided to keep it for now. I used it to determine how to handle the landscape properly.

Maybe as the game progresses you could add obstacles like hay bales that slows you down greatly and stuff that can kill you like cows slowly wandering around, rocks, nethams, holes and stuff like that.

what if they were placed just after jumps and the like?
