This looks cool! :) when can we play?!?! :D

Hey Anthony,

Yep I played this on the arcade! :)

I would like to make a couple of suggestions though, when the characters are talking sometimes the text overlaps, happens to me in both FF and Chrome. It would be nice to click to continue as well, instead of waiting for the next bit of text to appear. Sometimes the collision with objects seems a bit harsh.

Other than that I think you've done a great job, look forward to seeing the next installment! :)

Phewf! thanks, it's alive again :)

Added but not finished a water track (comes after 3 laps of the first race) - and also a rogue police car to avoid on the first track.

Wow thanks Savvy!

Slight problem.. just a small one, I have just uploaded the latest version and it doesn't work anymore.. doesn't load.. nada! <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Insane code! I'm using this as well. Good job R0J0hound!

Hiya,

I'm having a similar problem with various parts of my game.

If my car is over say grass, or going around a corner - I'm using 'set layout zoom' or 'set speed too (while key is pressed).

but this is setting the change permanently. How can I for example say while my car is overlapping sprite x, increase the speed until not overlapping. The same goes for while a key is pressed increase the drift until it is not pressed anymore.

Hope that makes some kind of sense :)

Hi Savvy,

I like the idea of a key to drift but I'm a noob here!

I'm having a reoccurring problem with other things, to change into 'drift mode' I'm setting on key down - set drift to 50. trouble is that sets it to always drift after that. It's also the same when you go onto the grass, it sets the car into a slower speed and will continue that way.

Do you (or anyone reading!) to do something like 'while key is down - change speed to xx' or 'while over object - change speed too xx' then revert when not over the object.

? :)

and actually the same goes for the zoom, I can set it to zoom but no gently zoom out afterwards.

Hi all,

My name is Lee, I'm from England but have been living in Spain for 5 or so years. I've been building websites for a while and have also made levels for Doom II and Quake (old school I know!).. so Construct is perfect for me, not too simple and not that difficult to figure out the code, great for creationists like myself :)

Saving up for a better version than the free one, I'd really like to make something addictive and mega fun out of this.

salut! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

This looks lovely, look forward to seeing it progress! :)

Thanks Genki :)

I've start from scratch, but I think I've put too many of the same sprite in as I'm getting lag spikes but it works fairly well. Thanks to Ubivis for his lap code!

Had to put a delay before Layout 2 loads, something wrong with my timer.

Anyway here it is :) http://slowdown.co.uk/microrace/

Thanks Ubivis for the example, I've put it on my racer too :)

Hey thanks for the reply, I've tried but without much success, I'll keep trying! thanks again.
