Dear Gilles,
Could you please comment the code of your "Racing Demo"? I don't get the maths behind it or how the tracks are actually built. Are they stretched images or how did you do it?
It would be great if someone could make a network racer out of it and I would like to try to do that.
But I don't get the numbers at all.
microStudio is awesome, great work. :)
A lot of maths involved in that one and plenty of information available online how it's done 🙂
I don't think Gilles will have the time to comment the whole game, so here are some example link (ask Google, there are plenty more).

They slightly differ how they render the final road, but the principle is the same. A good exercise in trigonometry 😉

@Benobi I must confess that my Racing demo is completely cheated. I think the math was wrong from the beginning and I just kept tweaking it until I got something reasonably ok.
I think Skaruts' demo is much more accurate ; it takes elevation into account ; also I just replayed it and was amazed to see a lot of added features!
However, for some untold reason ><, I need to create a decent racing mini-game inspired by Outrun. So it was time for me to dive into it again and I just made a new example, which I think is much more correct than my previous one. It has elevation too. I tried to add useful comments, but I am not sure if they will be easy to understand. It's hard to figure these things out without a drawing board!
So that's the example: https://microstudio.dev/tutorials/examples/gilles/roadworks/
