perhaps you have decided to make something a little to early in your programming life cycle.

If I were you and had little experience with each facet of this type of game, I would spend some time to break down each area into smaller managable bits.


Start with say modelling.
theres a great deal of practise involved here to get it to look good.
concept / modelling / texturing / animation

spend a good week just focusing on one aspect and then the follow that order as the weeks go by. You wont be an expert in 4 weeks but you will have a lot more scope as to whats involved with each step.

forget about the rest for now and just focus on each component at hand.


Now if your not very good at maths your going to curse yourself for flicking nerds with paper missiles in maths class as algebra and physics was taught as you could of used them for this project.

Your going to have to brush up on maths in order to make a decent engine for car momemtum and physics of car weight and mass.

There is a free open source demo for a car physics demo by the masked coder but its not wise to throw yourself in that deep until you have the basics clear again in your mind, it really depends on how realistic you want to develop it as well.


hehe commercial games make it look so easy but keep in mind theres a tonne of people on one project and a lot of experience at the helms.
You should be realistic as to what your skills are and how to improve them, finally building up a series of skills for a particular game.

A tutor for maths wouldnt hurt if you have already left school or some extra courses can never do harm.

good luck kimosabe. btw hitting face on wall doesnt help with game progress.
