All That Jazz

The project has been moving forward quickly since we started working using the SVN system, having a central store of the games code that both of us can work from has been invaluable.

Since the last update I have been working on the file manager almost exclusively. Early on we decided that most of the games resources should be kept in external files for easy editing and loaded into the game engine on runtime. This includes things like; race, track and car data aswell as all the in game graphics (which are stored in external SWFs)... All of these files need to be loaded and parsed correctly so that the data is accessible within the game. This is now almost entirely finished.

I have also done a large clear up aswell as adding some small features like 'pause' and a countdown on the grid at the beginning of a race.

We are hoping to post a 'tech demo' of the game on here fairly soon, which is guaranteed to impress, so keep checking back!

Hey, due to me moving house - twice! - weve had a bit of a delay on getting to the demo stage... but it will be released, here first.
