It is a very good game. But I want to ask one question, how do you implemented AI of opponent cars?
Glad you like it!
Basically, every car is basic car with wheel colliders - https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/WheelColliderTutorial.html - with very minor tweaks. So, when I had an working car, I added checkpoints. Basic box collider with triggers. The code is simple - first it knows what checkpoint to check for, second it adjusts angle of front wheels on Update() so they always face the correct checkpoint. When checkpoint is hit, AI's "OnTriggerEnter" is called. If it hit correct checkpoint, it tells to check for next one (in case it was the last one - check for first) and adjust wheels towards it. Acceleration is basically just full throttle with simple speed limiter to not make AI too op.
Hardest part was probably making correct wheel adjustment, but, I was just copy-pasting code from my previous projects, so making AI was pretty simple, this time. Buuut, feel free to check out my profile, I used similar technique to make boats float towards their checkpoints in Pirate's Keel, game that I made open-source, so just git-clone and run, or just navigate to "AIController.cs" if you want to see just this specific part.
Cheers!
Thank you very much for the information.
Fun game!
Glad you like it!
that green was malicious, so I threw it off the track. On the next track, I fell off the track because green :( gr8
Game update idea: make one kart try to bully you no matter what and how
Thanks for the feedback!
This is fun - I'm a real menace on the road! Love the mean status update, love how the cars look like paper when they flip. Speedway vibe.
Glad you like it!
Status update is mean because I didn't do much effort to update the counter properly, in true spirit of low effort jam
Excellent. I was amused and motivated.
