c’t Racetrack II (#87)

Jonathan Frech, 5 December 2015

Since the 30th of November 2015 the contest is over. The code is now visible in my post c’t-Racetrack. In this time I improved my program and added a semi-working collision detection (unfortunately it does not cover every case), a helper function (will not allow you to make an invalid move) and an additional view mode (lets you see only the car’s path).

Controls

Mouse movement changes the new acceleration vector applied in the next step,
Left click moves one step,
Right click is a undo for the latest move,
Middle click moves the frame,
“F1” toggles view mode,
“F2” takes a screenshot,
“F3” exports current moves,
“F4” resets the game,
“h” toggles helper.
