A mountainbike / Moto GX / Racing mobile game.
Objective
Complete levels in as little time as possible.
You obviously play the racer.
- You move automatically. (Forward by default, level elements can change this.)
- Wheels on the ground? Tap to jump off. Hold to slow down (or speed up?)
- Wheels in the air? Tap to jump again. Hold to rotate. (Or tap once to start rotating, tap once again to stop rotating?)
Map
Build each level from individual lines (defined in JSON data).
- Can be custom (I give specific coordinates)
- But most likely standard types (horizontal, vertical, circle cup, circle cap, etc.)
- Can specify properties on that (thickness, color, stretch a certain direction, terrain)
Besides that, I merely need a start position, a finish, and times needed for certain number of stars.
Leftover ideas
- You are carrying/moving something. This plays with your weight. Or you aren’t allowed to lose it.
- Similarly, you can grab powerups or other elements in the level
- How to do multiplayer?
- Race twice. The second time, there’s a different route, and you’ll have changed some things because of the first run.
- Race simultaneously. Either splitscreen, or kept within the same screen.
- Combine moto with other genres? Like moto + platformer?
Implementation
Systems:
- Clock. (Precise, no randomness, allow penalty/bonus time.)
- Map loader + creator
- Player vehicle
Games to look at:
- Moving truck
- Recoil => anything from Martin Magni is cool

## Objective
Complete levels in as little time as possible.
## Input
You obviously play the **racer**.
* You move automatically. (Forward by default, level elements can change this.)
* Wheels on the ground? Tap to jump off. Hold to slow down (or speed up?)
* Wheels in the air? Tap to jump again. Hold to rotate. (Or tap once to start rotating, tap once again to stop rotating?)
## Map
Build each level from individual _lines_ (defined in JSON data).
* Can be custom (I give specific coordinates)
* But most likely standard types (horizontal, vertical, circle cup, circle cap, etc.)
* Can specify properties on that (thickness, color, stretch a certain direction, terrain)
Besides that, I merely need a start position, a finish, and times needed for certain number of stars.
