For about four or five years an idea has been bouncing around inside my little head for a game. A turn-based racing game. The idea came after playing a boardgame, that seemed to work quite well but I felt that the amount of management that went on in the board game took away from the fun. A computer can do all the rule management for the players, thus allowing them to have all the fun withouth the negative side-effects. A prototype was started, early January 2010. The prototype includes a hotlap mode for single player, practice and through configuration files the player can setup a direct connection with another player as a server. There is no user-interface in the prototy[e besides the ability to move the car.

A user interface (UI) will be the first thing that is required to take this project from the prototype stage to the production stage. Sounds and a few special effects will also be required. Some form of basic collision to static objects, like walls, buildings and trees would need to be implemented in the actual game. Car to car collision is a little more tricky. A certain mode will allow cars to go through eachothers path. This will be called "ghost-collision", and any other collision models are not set in stone.

- Multiplayer connection established, and a full game played.
- ADDED: GameCfg.txt. The game related options belong here instead of specific to a track script.
- FIXED: Timing issues, although still not 100% perfect it is much closer.
- FIXED: Bug with screen resolutions, car position was not tracked in WorldSpace.

January 17th 2010
- Added a new track environment, wider and easier to learn.
- Car configuration finally feels good.
- ADDED: A full checkpoint system, car needs to pass all checkpoints to complete a lap.
- ADDED: The ability to see the replay
- FIXED: Collision detection with Start/Finish line / checkpoints.
- FIXED: A physics bug that caused issues.

January 15th 2010
- ADDED: Start/Finish line.
- Laptimes are now tracked, including best 'session' lap.
- Worked on making the prototype work over the internet.
. . . Ran into issues with connection resetting? Put on hold.

January 12th 2010
