I've never written a software renderer but I can imagine you need some experience for that. The racer feels pretty fluid, and the rendering is also pretty good, except for some jagged lines when turning the car. If I were you I would keep this code around, maybe improve it a bit, and use it next LD for your next game!"},{"author_name":"Reis Mahnic","author_uid":"52764","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 7:54am","epoch":1460965740,"text":"So here's the thing.\r<br\/>A. The visuals are really appealing and I think succeed as your intended tech demo of sorts.\r<br\/>B. You called your game Don't Race Me Or My Son Ever Again.

All you can do is drive around the track and that's it. I'm sorry folks.\r\n\r\nI guess my biggest flaw here is I wrote a software renderer. So the scenery and the sprites are all rendered by the java code.\r\n\r\nMy original idea was to call it \"Shape Shift Racing\" and have it so you would need to change your cars shape to fit through holes in walls.\r\n\r\nMaking the simple driving and rendering took way longer than I expected.\r\n\r\nI'm merely posting this to get feedback and to give out the source so people can expand on it and learn from the raycaster.","title":"Don't Race Me Or My Son Ever Again"}
