Karting Engine

arty-fishL · 02:28 PM

This is a physics engine (I think that's what you would call it) for a go-kart. Its not meant to be fully realistic, its just meant to look good. It can be tweaked to be realistic, but I don't know all the official variables.

Basically it has good driving; acceleration, steering, speedometer etc.
The speedometer needle is slightly off, but if it matters to you that much I've also added a digital display below it.

I could maybe make this into a full game, maybe, or somebody else could if they wanted.

Also this has a free go-kart model that I converted and Glooed together in it, so you can export that from it if you want too.

When you download it the two sphere's are a collision test (the collision is spongy, but effective - it worked at over 225mph), the magenta square is a boost square and the rough textured square slows you down. Please download and comment

, thanks.

Arty-Kart...I like the sound of that.

I just download a SNES emulator and a Gameboy Advance/Color emulator to my Wii yesterday, so I've been playing Mario Kart, it gave me this idea.

made something like this... except i didn't have collision.
have you thought of adding inertia? turning being side ways? i made couple of examples of separate ways to do it.

I was going to make drift (I was thinking along the lines of inertia), just by adding a dummy that moves the kart and takes longer than the kart to turn at higher speeds, therefore adding that effect.
