  • 8 CPU racers
  • Avatars sit down and actually steer their cars
  • Race restarting
  • Cool loading animation
  • Drift handling improvements

Done some optimisation to get the framerate to a steady 60FPS, definitely still much more I could do. The floating point performance on the 360’s .NET Compact Framework is pretty dire..

  • A skybox
  • An original track
  • a floor for the world
  • Debug and chase cameras
  • A starting countdown

I also finally got Avatars in the code (Xbox 360 only so no videos yet). Microsoft has not decided to release the bones for the avatars, so I cannot do custom animations or poses yet. Therefore they are standing in the karts at the moment…
