Racing game where tracks have the shape of a country (globeprix.chyuang.com) 1 points by yongyongyong 1mo ago ↗ HN
[–] yongyongyong 1mo ago ↗ An idea I've had for awhile, realized by Opus 5.5.Which country's outline makes for the best racing track?
[–] gus_massa 1mo ago ↗ I got something like "track limit, lap invalid twice". I think it's better to allow (bad players) to complete the lap, just make the out of the road part slow.Hi from Argentina!It's nice to see the Obelisco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelisco_de_Buenos_Aires , but it should be near Buenos Aires instead of near Jujuy.It would be nice to add other landmarks, but I guess it get's hard to select them.

Hi from Argentina!
It's nice to see the Obelisco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelisco_de_Buenos_Aires , but it should be near Buenos Aires instead of near Jujuy.
