    actually the stripes are made by changing background color during interrupts, so it would be very hard to make them appear only on the sides of the road, in order to make stripes as you folks suggest it would require drawing them manually, just like in Spectrum games, but there would be no time for other objects. If the game was made in text mode it would be easier, but it would mean I would have to rewrite whole game and the framerate would be smaller I guess.



    In my opinion stripes are very useful, and I think they'll stay in the game, I'll try to make them more smooth though

    thanks folks for your remarks. I'm not fully happy with the perspective stuff so that will have to be changed, now it's a little bit chaotic and not precise, but I'm sure I can make it better. I'll try to inform you here about any significiant progress.

    btw. Music will be done by Caruso (ingame music) and I already received main theme from Makary Brauner, and I like it a lot.

    Hello folks,
    2 weeks ago I started working on a racing game for Atari computers. So far I was able to finish road algorithm, add some elements of the background, and create a simple 3d engine for perspective. I hope to finish this game by the end of May.
    The main idea was to create racing game but not the casual way with display list, but instead to create 3d algorithm for the road, so I could add also elements of background.
    If you are not familiar with the traditional way of drawing road it all depends on scrolling each and every line of the road, which makes it very hard to add some other elements of the background, because each and every line has different offset.
    So far the game runs in 1 and 1/3 of the frame (with music) so I still have 2/3 of the frame for additional objects. PAL version will run in 25 fps whereas NTSC version will run in 20 FPS.

    Hello folks,
    I'm retro coder myself and I like to know what's going on in retro homebrew world. I admire the craftmenship of developers and it makes me happy that old platforms are still supported.
    Therefore I started my new page where one can read about new games on various 8 bit platforms. You can visit it here:

    Great, I would love to see some functionalities in future releases:
    1.setting size of generated graphics with byte precision, so the source code would contain limited number of .byte data in a line
    2.zooming in and zooming out

    Good luck with future releases
