Why you should care about Dani's Race?

![[avatar]](/pictures/favicon.png)
Blender DumbassDani's Race is a pretty to look at, open-world game. Is this a good enough reason to care about it? No. It's not. There are plenty of good looking games out there. And Dani's Race is not even close to some of them. Dani's Race is a Libre "GTA Clone". Okay... so what? It's not the only one. And it is not even that GTA-like anyway. Yes, you can get in and out of cars. Yes, you have an open world. Yes, the levels are structured into missions. But so what? Why should you give a damn? What's so special about this game in particular? Well...
Let's start with a square.
The Structure of Dani's Race Codebase ( July 10th 2026 )

Blender DumbassThis is less of an article and more of an overview into how Dani's Race ( a game I'm developing ) works. Note, there is a date in the title of this article. Anything here is subject to change. But I don't think a lot of it will be that different in the end of the day.

TrolerI want to get the scoreboard working on Dani's race, but I'm using Winblows operating system. That means a lot of things are broken. That's because Dani's race was developed for the Tux operating system.
So Why The Hell this math NaNs out? Help me!

Blender DumbassWhy does ( 1 / ( D ( ( T - carD"prevT" 2 ) ) ) result in a NaN? What is going on?

Dani's Race and notgit.py ( Updater )

Blender DumbassNot so long ago I decided to forgo the wisdom of using
git for this game. Instead, most changes will be recorded via the notgit.py program I wrote for fun the other day.
Have I given up on Dani's Race?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/danisrace_fail.png)
Blender DumbassDani's Race development has been halted. The last changes to the project I've done maybe more than 6 months ago. The game still contains a lot of bugs and only 3 story missions. And it still runs like ass, averaging 20 fps on average laptops.

Blender DumbassAs you probably have guessed by my username, I know Blender. And I also know how to make SuperTuxKart addons. So I decided to make a Fedi-based series of tutorials explaining how I go from zero to a finished addon. This first part focuses on Karts ( since they are a bit simpler).
Is Blender's DOGWALK Even Libre?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/dogwalk.png)
Blender DumbassIt seems like the project is meant to show that they understand the frustrations of people who didn't understand where the Game Engine was gone. And in the same time, to develop / polish Blender in regards to game development.
The question stands though: Is DOGWALK even Libre?

Blender DumbassWorking to make a game which is very hard to optimize a bit more respectable when it comes to performance. Which is easier said than done. This video is a journey of pain that is optimization in UPBGE ( the game engine chosen for Dani's Race ).
Featuring a new soundtracks for Dani's Race called "Light Driving" ( and another one with no proper title yet ) done using soundfont "Touhou" cc-by by Team Shanghai Alice. The tracks themselves are CC-BY-SA and for now a test version of them are available on my mastodon.
The video includes ( at 01:18:53 ) a section from the livestream of LogalDeveloper that happened on his Owncast on 02/05/2025.
