Space Race


Guest

I thought I'd enter a blog on this even though I don't know whether this will really mature into a project or not.I'd like to see if I can write a port of the 1973 Atari coinop title Space Race.This should be VERY simple other than the process of drawing the starfield. I asked about this on Stellalist and got some derision for distracting myself from Death Derby ;) But this game really is quite simple outside of the stars. I'm itching to finish a game off quickly so I can feel some sense of personal accomplishment.BTW, before you comment, I do know this game is very similar to Freeway. It might be possible to hack Freeway into Space Race, but the stars are denser than the cars in Freeway and they move at a constant rate vs. the variable speed cars in Freeway.I indeed just discovered a recent freeway hack so I'm not sure it's that necessary to write a game so similar.
