The latest CVS should now work better. It seems the game segfaults
sometimes when sound is enabled. If that's the case, the -ns switch can be
used to disable it.
New features:
- Kart is not a single rigid body any longer. Wheels are attached to the
body by springs.
- Wheel/Interaction changed. The load value comes from the springs,
now. Before, it came from the pressure from the road on the tyres.
- As a result, the time step has been increased to 3 ms. This leaves more
cpu time free for more Karts to be simulated at the same time. More code
optimisations/cleaning should allow for more free time to be freed.
- Playback speed. Can be changed using switch -sf <n>
(SlowFactor) or during game with keys p and m.
