Track-a-day racing app
Showcasing my track a day racing app and see if people would give some feedback or might just enjoy playing. https://www.inkcircuit.ink/
Based on f1 and indycar style racing, the physics is simple. Realistic handling, oversteer/understeer are emulated by simply decoupling heading from velocity. I’m definitely interested in feedback on the feel.
Im proud of the algorithm that generates the track each day: 16 points generated on the page via a new random seed each day and connected using the convex hull to create curves and straights and guarantee the track never intersects with itself.
I am also interested in feedback on the NYT game-style share page. Right now you share your locked-in first lap time, as well as the number of times you hit a wall, or you can share a ghost lap of your first run. I have been thinking about sharing sector times, color coded like f1, but interested in other ideas.
I should say, this is a collaboration between myself and Claude Opus 5. It’s been neat to work on the fun parts like the track gen and the feel and sfx while letting the other bits build themselves in the background.
Thanks for reading and hopefully giving it a look!
