kow.exe ~27mb (self extracting 7zip archive)

a week ago i did some experiments and recycled some of my old stuff for the upcoming contest. i decided to release a beta even if it isn't really finished.

f1 = restart level1
f2 = restart level2
right shift = reset vehicle 1
left shift = reset vehicle 2
cu cr cd cl = vehicle 1
w d s a = vehicle 2

currently it takes 87 lines (i already use many tricks but maybe i can reduce it some more). my plan is to add sound effects and particles (i guess particles will be hard with the few lines left) and if the there is a working map compiler in time i will add light maps.

you stole my idea, lol.

I created physics code as well (in 50 lines).
only stumbled upon the movement right now XD for some reason my wheels wont rotate correctly...
If you want, maybe you could help me, and explain a bit more on that topic (PM me or email me ).

but this looks cool so far, i like the suspension update!
oh, and multiplayer wont work, the 2nd view is not working, but that's because the limit is exceeded on my display adapter i guess (working on a laptop here).

regards,

my two vehicles take 22 lines. with fully animated suspension. :p the rest is for shortcut detection, lap counting, camera and hud and so on.

the resolution is 1280x1024. i will probably reduce it to 1024x768.

I enjoyed to play the demo very much!

What I miss is a reset button and the ability to drive backwards.
I managed way to often to get blocked when driving against a border, or onto the border with all wheels without contact to earth!

wow!

No way i'm gonna win that :P lol
still, for learning reasons, i'll try and finish this
Is your code set up for the car from WED, or created by code ?

regards,

the vehicles are set up in WED. saves some lines.

did you set up the axes correctly? and do you use spheres and no boxes?

there is no reverse gear but with the shift keys you can reset the vehicles.

yes, i set the up axis on axis one (0, 0, 1), and the tilt axis on axis 2 (0, 1, 0).
Nothing wrong there, i also use PH_SPHERE indeed when creating the physical objects :P

Might have to do though with the way is control my car... could you the part where you control the wheels for us? (or if you dont want to do that, PM me... or not at all :P ).

kind regards,

great, really. really good possibility for winning the competition.

are you sure the y-axis is correct? in my case i have to use the x-axis. this depends on the orientation of your entities.

I would love to test this out but since the server isn't directing me towards the download link itself, I can hardly C&C on it ^^

Thanks in progress
