#keyboard-racing

While working on the new version of Keyboard Racing website I totally forgot about the current one... Shame of me! And what happened? Right! The current website became like an old house. The roof with holes, downspout is detached and overgrown garden. By translating to the technical language: broken login with Facebook or Google, non-parsable content for search-robots, bad makeup for tablets and mobile phones: YESYESYES, you actually can play with mobile phone ;)

Google said: At some point of time I got an email from Google, like “Hey body! Do you see? Your customers trust you, you have your traffic grows! And yeah, your site is sh..t, but I also trust you, Google said.”

I realised, that I must spend some time to fix all this small issues and make my old house clean and neat! Because I love this project and I hope you love it too.

Fix it!: So I spent my time to restore what were broken: Single sign-on page: Google and Facebook, I had a long negotiation between me and Google/Facebook, because now they require huuuuuge amount of checks and validations. They want to be sure that they can trust me and you can trust me. Now you can ;) I proved it :)

Also (I don’t know why) I updated my design and made it responsible! (still do not know why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯    

Finally, I can continue working on the new project and I hope I will launch it as MVP very soon! Cross the fingers :)

KeyRace GUI and Scenes

This day ended with the new demo! http://key-race.com/demo

After spending a few days of researching different GUIs and interfaces I realised, that I cannot find the best one, the one I want to have for the KeyRace project. So I decided to create my own layout :) Simple, right?

You can find the MainMenu prototype (follow the demo link), ah and yeah, I create a HomePage scene. This scene now will welcome you and will guide you through the game process. Of cource now it's just a prototype, but I promise, it will be the most interactive "Main menu" you ever seen ;)

KeyRace development progress

Finally I made the thing I wanted the most! Collision manager and track control!

Now the race looks like a real race and not like an emulation. Cars are doing well, they try to beat each other, try to overtaking, try to move as fast as they can and more... they try to avoid collisions (if possible). If you remember, I mentioned, that in this project I want to use the real race physics.

Go to http://key-race.com/demo (at some point I will add HTTPS, I promise :) ) and enjoy the race (you can even run it as a screensaver ;)
