Oh that looks nice with the road lines! I also like how you got the wheels animation.

Rapture from The Game?

*UPDATE*

Not a very large update, but it is one. I had to start from an older version(got deleted from my calc a while back), but I got it back to it's latest state(I had to redo the animation frames and other stuff). Plus, it shows your score back to you when you crash.



Also, do you think it seems too slow at first? Should I make it faster? Use Full?

I think the speed is quite fine. Nice looking little program you have there.

You should add some cars that goes the wrong way every now and then as the race progresses.

...I might slow down the speed up...

I think an interesting idea might be to turn it into more of a racing game, Lotus Turbo Challenge-style. Holding 2nd will accelerate the car (releasing it will slow the car down) and you have to make it to a checkpoint within a certain amount of time, that sorta thing. Adding multiple cars would be cool, too. It looks really pretty, the car sprites are exceptionally well done (did you draw them yourself? Seriously, they're gorgeous!) it just feels like a slow avalanche game right now. You could even have power-ups that would let you shoot a car that's in front of you or temporarily upgrade your bumper to absorb shocks from bumping into other cars, that sorta stuff. You could maybe even have the other cars turn slightly while they come down. Anyway, the animation and everything looks great, you've done a great job so far!

EDIT: Oh, and i second not breaking 83+ compatibility!

Hm... good ideas. I might actually make this into a racing game(it's called KarRace, so...).  It probably won't take me much to take out the speed up and add acceleration. I would make more sprites, but I don't want to make the size of the game too big (and yes, I created the sprites myself, thanks ). I was thinking about doing powerups at the beginning, but I have it so that if there is an "on" pixel in front of the car, it is a crash, so I am not sure how I would implement it.

Does anyone else think I should do acceleration instead of speed up after a certain amount of time?

I had an idea similar to this, but I'll let you tackle this one as it seems you have nailed this on. My idea was loosely based off of the handheld sega mcdonald toy, "Sonic Speedway". http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_Speedway  Which is similar to you game in a sense. This game was based off the game "Sonic Drift" which I was also thinking of porting. Maybe consider this while planning your game?  http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_Drift  Overall it's looking good!

I might check this out another time. Thanks!

*UPDATE*

Now the game starts with the speed equaling 0. You press [2ND] for power(thinking about doing [ALPHA] for brakes and [^](UP) for temporary boost). Now the other player(s) keeps going if you stop(note: there is no real track, so opponent just loops around screen).



Things to do(in no particular order):
1. Fix wheels so the stop when vehicles stop .
2. Figure out how to do a track with multiple checkpoints.
3. Checkpoints(in #2, but saying it anyways).
4. Timer to time player(won't be too hard unless you guys want actual seconds which I don't know how to do).
5. Finish title screen(put the title in the title screen, polish it, etc).

Any other things I missed? Any suggestions?

Edit:
I also made it so that when you put power it goes up slowly, but you can't really tell because it's so fast. Any ideas on how to make it any slower and noticeable?
