GAME: Racer

[Mark Power]

Thank you for the suggestions on improving Racer. I certainly would like to speed it up as that would allow:

• an increase in draw depth, allowing you to see the road going further towards the horizon
• addition of road signs
• addition of palm trees
• distance haze or fog (using alpha blending that has been added in recent firmware)
  

Whilst you've made the code much shorter, it has lost some readability which may make further changes difficult. It also doesn't seem to work at all well on the Mac virtual Prime - which is a shame as v32 added support for the virtual Prime.

On my physical Prime your version seems to have a few problems - like the road width is incorrect and hence the other cars are sometimes off the road. However it also seems to run slower.

Have you posted the correct version or was this just a concept to allow further optimisation?

Regards,
Mark
