racing-game VS raycast-vehicle-engine

this is how i did it in racing game: https://github.com/pmndrs/racing-game/blob/main/src/effects/Dust.tsx both the dust and the skid marks are instances, this should be fairly fast.

The racing game works on desktop Firefox on Ubuntu. Kind of. I get only jumpy spinning random frames once the car starts. Maybe it's https://github.com/pmndrs/racing-game/issues/152

The space travel site works on desktop Firefox but I can only click and drag. I didn't find any way to zoom. Basically I'm stuck on the objects I can see: Earth, Moon and Mars. But I didn't even looked for help in the other comments. Got work to do now.

Thanks for answering :-)

beautiful! i love the looks and the physics feel great! you made your own engine for this? i've tried to make a mini racing game for fun once but physics (using cannon though) were the hardest part, it never felt as natural as this.

The open sourced racing game developed by Poimandres and other contributors on Github. The game features a 3D car in a track, and the user is supposed to reach the end of the track by driving the car to the end of the track as soon as possible. This project uses Cannon-ES, a physics library which is a fork of the original CannonJS by Stefan Hedman, currently being developed in house by the developers and other contributors of Poimandres.

there's a similar project that's open source and desperately looking for contributors: https://github.com/pmndrs/racing-game :-)

pmndrs/racing-game – An open source racing game developed by everyone willing.

Once I was done with setting up my first raycast vehicle, I was quite proud of myself. Although, I did wish that there was a website where I could upload my car model, and with some tweaks, generate all the code required to build a raycast vehicle. Now generating code on the browser and downloading it as files and folders is something which is not very easy to develop IRL, but is a very fun and plausible problem to solve. And that's how the idea for the Raycast Vehicle Engine took birth. A browser based engine, where a developer can upload a car model, make some tweaks in the code for the vehicle with the help of a GUI, and when satisfied with the tweaks, easily download the code, install using npm i and run using npm start. Sounds pretty interesting, right? Well that's just the beginning.

There are many more awesome features that I am planning to add to the engine, and you can help me out with it too. So do fork it on github. Thanks to everyone that contributed to this project and made it possible and thanks to you for reading this article.
