Drag Tune - my project for the past few months!

I’ve been programming a drag-racing game on Scratch! It’s not yet finished (it isn’t live on the website yet), but I thought I’d share some screenshots.

There are 10 cars in the game:

• Mazda MX-5
• Subaru WRX STi
• BMW M2
• Audi TT RS
• Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
• Windows, erm, Nissan GT-R R35
• Porsche 911 Turbo S
• Lamborghini Huracan
• McLaren P1
• Koenigsegg One:1

I am accepting suggestions for adding cars. I’m hoping to add a couple of older cars (like a Supra, R34, E30, that kind of thing), plus some crazier ones (F12tdf, Regera, Caparo T1 and a V10 Formula One car are on the list). I’ll release the game with the 10 cars, then update it with more as I go.

So, some screenshots (things may change between now and going live):

There are also car sounds - the sound generator produces them based on the pitch (I got that from listening to the cars in real life) and the cylinder count. I will NOT add rotary cars because there is no way to get a BRAAAAP sound into my sound engine.

You can save and import tuning data - each tune is made up of a string of 54 numbers. This bit still needs quite a bit of work - sometimes it glitches.

There are also cheat codes - they can give you ridiculous grip/power/downforce, indestructible components, half weight or no drag. There’s also a code that converts all engine sounds into Formula One sounds (OK, all it does is makes them sound higher and louder).

I hope to release this properly in a few weeks! I’ll provide a link to the finished game!

EDIT: One more thing I’ll add - the game has delta-time. Basically, if the FPS drops, the game will still appear to run at the same speed - more stuff happens per frame. You’d only see lag if it drops below 10FPS. Game speed is capped at 100 FPS - my i5-powered laptop (about 4 years old) does 60 no problem. No idea how quickly a GT-R runs this game…
