Long time no new project here...so I thought that I might as well contribute something.

It's not really a "project", but something that I'm working on from time to time. It started out as an experiment to see, how feasible it is to generate a road based on the random number generator alone. Over the months, it turned into something that you can actually "play" albeit it's far from being a game of some sort.

The road and the AI vehicles are all generated, nothing has been placed by hand. It has basic sounds, arcade like vehicle controls, traffic and a very crude collision "model".

Here's a video: https://youtu.be/o3MthgPRDsE?si=GEl1AJA2DRFxJCaJ

And this is how it looks:

After playing some racing games on my old computers (Amiga, C64...), I felt the urge to try something like that for myself on a more modern platform but with a retro look. I wanted to code something that at least generates a road and moves a car. I'm not sure, if this is going anywhere...if it is, it'll be some Android game...but I'm still undecided, if I really want to do that.

Anyway, it's basically code that generates road tiles based on an RNG and then warps, rotates and translates them to form a continuous road. The tiles get enabled/disabled based on the player's position, so that in total, not more than 30 tiles are being processed for each frame. So even if it looks like a single 3d mesh, it actually isn't.

Then it places a car sprite (ripped from Outrun), plays some music (also ripped from Outrun...) and moves along.

Here's a video (with german descriptions, but anyway): https://youtu.be/tAsdOGt0i28

Edit: It's using the software renderer for now, hence the shimmering.
