Ho man, was that ever fun! I was playing the first version for like 20 minutes, and then continued on down the post and found the SECOND version! I then commensed to play that for another 20 minutes. It''s so much fun! It reminds me of an old DOS game called Big Red Racing. Lotsa fun. For the next version, you should look into maybe adding a skybox. It''d be a nice change from the inky blackness in there now.

decided to have some fun: driveable vehicle :)

If you want a tutorial about car physics, then you could try:

And there are probably loads of others floating around on the web.
RipTorn:
Very cool demo
. But what are you supposed to do when you fall off the edge?

something i recon would be good would be a third person view lock so when you are driving the car you dont need to also turn the mouse yourself
RipTorn - it looks good, but i''m rarely getting an fps over 5. this is on a pentium 3 600, 128 ram, geforce 2 200mx 64mb on windows xp pro.
I''d really like to see what exactly all the fuss is about, but i cant get it even slightly playable

First version about 2fps on celeron 500+Voodoo3 2000 :-p
Second version doesn't work shows just light brown screen :-p
Maybe it's the not-so-capable Voodoo?

Weird im getting at least 30fps on both demos. I have trouble with it not loading properly occasionally on the second demo (its just a grey square and if u accelerate i get dark grey particles show up but no terrain or car) but thats about it.

Hmm.
ok.
I''ll look into all this.
It may be I''m using a GL 1.2 function call somewhere in the mix, which is causing some issues with some people. Does glDrawElements need GL 1.1 or 1.2? (I think it''s range elements than needs 1.2, but I''m probably wrong)
I''m also using glaux to draw the spheres, since I''m lazy (I really need to fix that)... which may also be screwing some people up. (it also means they dissapear when you run time fullscreen switch - F1 )
I think I''ll have to make a super debugger version. checking for GL errors ever few lines, or such.
I may also make it force using software texture decompression. That may clear some issues up. (it currently uses S3TC if detected - but thats only in version 2)

hi,
i tried this demo, and although i''ve seen some nice comments about it''s performance, i get from about 3 - 0.1 (yes, it takes up to 10 secs to render a frame sometimes) fps. my comp specs:
p3 500
128 mb
ati radeon 8500 64 mb (equvalent, if not better, to a gf3)
i tried fullscreen modes, low res, everything, and it''s not the rendering that is so slow - it''s the physics. so... umm... to bad i didn''t get a chance to try it out.
---
umm... bah?

It ran fine on my computer (~35 fps):
AMD 1.4GHz, 256MB SDRAM, GeForce2 MX400, Win2k.
One thing I noticed is that the people who its not running too great for all have slower processors (500-600 MHz). Maybe its the 60Hz physics that''s doing it in for them.

Great job!

Had fun zipping around and sliding. Not sure if it was supposed to happen but I succeeded in flipping the vehicle!

Good luck!
