Home Made Racing Game - Ogre3D, Nvidia Physx

This is my BSc graduation project (Yeditepe University Computer Science Engineering - Istanbul) using Nvidia Physx, Nxogre and Ogre at 2008 summer. I have programmed the game in pure C++. As for the AI techinques, the "Steering Behaviors For Autonomous Characters" paper of Craig W. Reynolds was great help to me (since some ppl asked me, i strongly recommend it for those interested).

It was fun to work on a project like this and i hope to return to it and redesign a new racing game one day. But unfortunately job and school makes it impossible for me to do this nowadays :)

Thanks for watching my video and take care you all!

Son derece orjinal bir isme ve konsepte sahip olan "The Race Game" =), 3 boyutlu grafikler, yapay zekalı rakipler ve gerçekçi fizik kuralları içeren bir yarış oyunumsusudur. Bu oyunu 2008 mayıs ve yaz döneminde Yeditepe Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Mezuniyet projesi olarak programladım. Oyunun yapımında OGRE grafik motoru ve Nvidia fizik motoru (NxOgre API si ile) kullanıldı. Oyun motoru ve yapay zeka kütüphanesi ise C++ dilinde yazıldı. Grafik modelleyicisi bulamadığım için oyundaki arabaları ve bazı objeleri Tile Racer, Thunder Wheels ve Slalom OX (Berk Hülagü) gibi oyunlardan aldım. Oynadığınızda anlyacağınız (veya anladığınız) üzere Oyun hala geliştirilme aşamasında ve öyle kalacağa benziyor :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Son olarak; Erdem Arda Kefeli'ye araba dinamiklerini ayarlamamdaki yardımları için, Rafet Turan'a yapay zeka geometrik hesaplamalarındaki yardımları için, Turgut Gökalp'e araziyi dizayn ettiği için, Arif Erman Kulunyar'a Ogre konusundaki sayısız yardımları için, ve Berk Hülagü'ye OGRE ve NxOgre ile ilgili sonsuz sayıda sorumu sabırla cevapladıgı için, çok teşekkür ederim.

thank you all mates. for those who ask for source code; i dont have it on my current pc. Anyway, I was a undergrad student when i was implementing this project, so its code isn't that clean and managable. So just dig into ogre3D forums, use nxOgre and nvidia physx. In days you will start figuring how easy and fun to do similar things!

cheers

Can you send me a blend file for an AI car. I need to know how to make an AI car that can be knocked off track, but continue along its path. Please help! ! !

[nordicc]

@Jestek100 mate check this paper out = the "Steering Behaviors For Autonomous Characters" paper of Craig W. Reynolds . Everything you need to put that car back in the track in a realistic way.

thanks mates. as soon as i am able, i will put a release version somewhere for download =)

looks brilliant.. I feel you could add more weight to the vehicles and define weight points within the vehicles.. i mean if car has engine in the front, it'd have more weight there.. that would make the it even more realistic, and I see car flipping while turning, I think its fixable.. but otherwise,.. add a sun and its gonna be NFSMW! great job

[nordicc]

@sam4san thank you very much. yes cars need more physics tweaking but this was a fast project with limited time. if i can manage to find some time i will restart over one day :)

You should sell this on steam!

I started to implement a simple racing game. I have the car driven by me, but how do I build a car driven by the computer? Do you have any suggestions, or a starting point from which to start (I'm using Ogre3D too).

Thanks in advance

It's clear you program better then you drive

[praveenajs]

bravo bravo! Well done!! Cheers!

woo my faveroute car! Volkswagen!

[elitesapress101TV]

nice game,sweet job bro

[MrRenar11]

I gotta say, i like the physics, and the whole game is good _)

[Virur]

no way this actually pretty fukin legit, sweet job bro

[ramonet27101993]

can u give me the source code? i'd like to learn about how to make games in 3D.

thanks

good job dude!
