A racing game!

The high-octane, high up, 3D
Hoverboard racing game!

In our game, you stand on a hoverboard and race around a track
suspended in air, over lava.
“The biggest schmuck of the year”Mad Magazine
“It’s good”- Dan Powers
Began with 50’ x 50’ VR room program.
• Added hover-board
• Made forward movement faster,
• Changed room into track
• Added lava field
And, wha-la! A racing game!
Makes objects “solid”. It’s hard. Here’s
why:
1. Computer must figure out where
hover-board can go by solving
geometric equations.
2. When collision occurs, board must be
stopped at edge of wall, or bounce off
We skipped that. So, the driver could
go 50 ft. over lava, but oh, well.
In closing…
All the 3D screensavers that come with
Windows are made with OpenGL.
Quake III, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, and UT 2K3
were OpenGL-made.
OpenGL works with virtually every platform,
including Linux. Linux Y OpenGL!
COOL!!!
