Title: Raster Racing 89
Post by: Alex on May 05, 2006, 03:50:00 am

Perhaps some of you remember I worked on a simple pseudo-3D road engine a while ago. Well, I decided to come back to it and improve it. And that I did, as now it looks a lot nicer, and the road curves look more realistic. It also runs a bit faster than it did before, around 85 FPS (remember, that's just the road with the player car, without other objects or AI cars, etc.) I plan to continue optimizing it and remove all floating point expressions and replace them with byte shifts, as that will surely increase the FPS count. Here are some screenshots:

Wow, that looks really nice. I would love to see some animated screenshots and test it myself :)

85 FPS... Wow!

Looks awesome! It looks like a cross between Pole Position and Outrun!

89's are faster than I thought!
The car pic is nice, I can't wait to try this. (me needs 89 first.)

Just remember that the Sega Genesis used a m68k as well :) (and a z80 for sound).

Edit:
Here's the newest screenshot, with scrolling background and steering:



I should really make an animated screenshot. I think I will after I implement hills. Note that the FPS dropped to ~70... Still fast and smooth though :)

An update: I improved the perspective - now you see more road segments, and added a parallax background (clouds/mountains + city landscape) that scrolls as the road turns. It averages 65 FPS and looks quite good on-calc :)



Next on the list are hills, then an animated screenshot.
