Night Racer is a racing game inspired by Trackmania and
F-Zero. The aim on the game is to complete the lap as fast as possible and set a record lap time.
The game takes place on a floating race track that twists and turns trough a bunch of buildings inside a cyberpunk city.
My Contribution:
A Mariokart-esque checkpoint system.
Timing the player and saving their fastest lap.
A ghost replay system.
All the UI programming.

Experience:
I wanted to make a checkpoint system completely on my own to learn how to better tackle making new and somewhat complex features, I started looking at how other racing games handled their checkpoints and took inspiration from there.
The checkpoint system checks if you have passed the previous checkpoint before counting the next one, it also checks if the player as passed every checkpoint before counting the lap.
