Car Racing Game
Project Title: Car Racing Game
Overview:
A Car Racing Game is a fast-paced 2D or 3D game where the player controls a car to race against time, opponents, or traffic. The goal is to finish laps or cover distance while avoiding collisions and maintaining speed.
Core Gameplay Features:
- Player-controlled car with acceleration, braking, and steering.
- Road or racing track with curves, obstacles, and other cars.
- Score based on time, laps completed, or distance covered.
- Speedometer, timer, and lap counter UI.
- Optional features: AI opponents, nitro boost, drifting, and upgrades.
Technologies Commonly Used:
- Python with Pygame (2D)
- JavaScript with HTML5 Canvas or Phaser.js
- C# with Unity (2D or 3D versions)
- Java with LibGDX or Android Studio for mobile versions
How It Works:
- The player controls a car using keyboard or touch inputs (arrow keys, WASD, or tilt).
- The road scrolls vertically or the camera follows the car in a 3D world.
- Collision detection checks for hits with other cars or barriers.
- Game logic handles speed, turns, and race progress.
- The player wins by finishing first, surviving traffic, or beating the clock.
Learning Objectives:
- Handling user input and real-time movement
- Implementing acceleration, steering, and collision physics
- Creating dynamic environments (scrolling background or 3D track)
- Managing game loops, scoring, and timers
- Learning about game design, vehicle dynamics, and UI
