To run the demo,

go to a terminal window, and change directory to the game area

eg. if you put the files in /boot/home/Desktop/jpe,

then type:

cd /boot/home/Desktop/jpe
./jpe


The keys are:

Up arrow - accelerate
Down arrow - brake
Left arrow - left (hmmm)
Right arrow - yep, right

Page up - look up
Page down - look down
Mouse (hold left button for look around)

1 to 4 - Best to worst quality
5 to 8 - furthest to closest clipping
i - interlace mode (the last action if the game is too slow)
l - turn on/off bi-linear filtering
r - print the frame rate to the terminal
b - turn on/off the bitmap

e - turn on/off sound effects
m - turn on/off music (copy any music file to 'music' in the game directory)
s - turn on/off the bitmap sky

F - toggle full screen mode

I took out the picture of the kart at the front, because I thought it looked better without it......

The physics is still a bit twitchy - it is really easy to slide the back by turning into a corner, then braking.

I haven't yet compressed the maps, so it can take a little while to load them - about 10 seconds on a slow machine.

There is a primitive speedometer in the bottom left (which can be turned on/off with the 'b' key). If it goes red, then you are sliding (as I haven't got good sounds yet :) )

Have fun,

Jeff

PS. This is *very* beta, so use it at your own risk......
