c’t Racetrack II (#87)

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.
