ok, uploaded a fix. Collision should now work right in Jet Racer, hills are now textured according to size and you get a score and distance report when the game is over and the option to retry.

and i made a short readme for JR and Speed Racer.

Ok, you need to not have the game screen blank when you die. As it is most of the time I have no idea what happened.

The viewpoint for jet racer is pretty bad, too.

ok, get rid of the screen blank. maybe have the view rotate?

i've tried different camera positions and the best thing i can think of is make the viewpoint changeable. maybe a right-click action?

anyway, my brother wants the comp and i've had it for a while, so...

the screen only blanks for a quarter second now, for dramatic effect. after that, the screen rotates around where the game ended so you get a 360 view of whatever went wrong. there's also a cockpit view(F1), and the chase view, which now goes much closer(F2). you can also use the wasd keys as well as the arrow keys and right-clicking, holding and moving the mouse rotates the view in chase camera mode. and an updated readme.

on the downside, i stuck a time limit in there.

6 Posts from me, 3 Posts from other people...i know it's just a tech demo, but should i be concluding 1) that they suck, 2) very few people here play racing games or 3) everybody goes mute when they see my amazing tech demo's?

neither works for me
if you want a better development platform, try out C#, you can get a free command line compiler with the .NET platform I believe
WinForms are really neato

no error message?

the important C question...how are the help files for C#? the ones i got with C++ VS are useless.

oh, and did you redo the config.txt to point at where you installed it?

i will have it auto-detect it's location, but at the moment, it's not the only urgent thing on my list of things to do. and i have to do the other thing before lack of sleep fries my brain.
