This project was compiled using the glut files from the Nate Robbins Web site

OpenGL RaceCar Version #2

This is an improved version of the race car simulation project.

Additional Features:

Computer Car Artificial Intelligence
User Controlled Car
Collision Detection
Reflection
Shadowing
Transfer to C++ for improved efficiency

Instructions:

Numeric Keys (0..9)Control Follow Cam Views
Function-Keys, Insert & Home keys Control Still Camera Views
Mouse, Right Button - Toggle Menu Features
User car: 'A' to accelerate, 'Z' to brake (and eventually stop)
User car: 'R' to restart the simulation
User car: To steer, press and hold down the Left mouse key in the MAIN (BIG) window, then move the mouse left and right to steer.
Arrow keys toggle user car window view.
The focus MUST be on the main window for commands to function!

Special Notes:

Recompiled on Visual Studio 6 on Windows XP professional.
You only need the executable in zip file racecar2.zip AND the glut32 library file to run the program.
If you do decide to use the textures, be aware that it renders the ENTIRE universe and would slow down even the fastest modern computer! (Especially if all the textures are activated)
