Hey guys!

I will be participating in this years contest (although it isn't a contest, I like to think it is). For more info, see this thread : http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=178568&b=2. Also note that Mega Mash Mothers is still an active project of mine, and I am determined to finish it

This game is not going to be anything like what I've done before, it's going to be a simple computer simulation of a pretty well known racing game that can be played on a piece of paper during boring classes at school. I have spent quite a lot of time with one of my friends (during boooooring french class), and we have evolved this game to a new level.

This game is VERY hard to explain, so I'm just going to skip that part and post the features and to-do list:

features

-level editor
-up to 4 players
-1 player mode (challenges)
-teleporters
-oil
-jumps
-nitro
-replays

done
working on
need to do

main menu
basic structure
DRAW file format (import/export/edit)
level editor
-> track tool
-> start line tool
-> jump tool
-> teleport tool
-> oil tool
-> scenery tool
-> tool palette
-> premade scenery objects + palette

game engine
-> level import
-> player spawn points
-> player movement
-> collision with track
-> jumps
-> teleporters
-> oil (players carry on with the same speed, can't steer)
-> nitro
-> collision with other player (player that collides misses out on next turn, and starts with speed 0 again.)
-> momentum transfer (If both players land on the same spot, players switch direction+speed)
high scores
replays

I don't get it - do you actually move the cars in Doodle race? Or is it still just a game of drawing vectors round a course? :S

Yes, it's still just drawing vectors (No real-time movement)

O...

Well, have fun with that.

(I had hoped it was just a 2D racing game with an awesome map editor, not an exact recreation of the original game.)

Well, it's the 31st, and I don't see me finishing this project... So I am going to attach what I have. The game IS playable, there's just a problem with oil, and I haven't programmed the winning routine yet. So if anyone wants to take over from here, be my guest

Doodle Race RELEASE (7z - 3.9 MB)
Doodle Race RELEASE (ZIP - 7.4 MB)

Enjoy!

EDIT : For those that want to carry this project on, check out what's done and what I still had planned in the first post
