When I started with
Dani's Race I thought that the extend of my programming will be something like dynamically changing the speed of a car and maybe loading and unloading certain things on the map based on the distance from them. But quickly it became a mind-field of math and other programming cleverness. About which I will talk to you in this article

We all love some mayhem when it comes to playing games. And nothing makes car games more satisfying than damage models. RockStar Games understood it early on, and all GTA games have breakable cars. Today some of the most popular car games
like BeamNG.drive holding on a realism of damage models almost solely. And therefor for me, making
Dani's Race any other way, would have not been a good idea. I knew I had to make the cars in my game breakable.

Meta
( allegedly ) tried to hire 3D artists to justify in court that 3D art is apparently so easy and quick to make, that it is uncopyrightable, so they could not ask for permission from 3D artists for training their AI.

There is no budget to this film. Yet with all the limitation, Dilman Dila makes a gripping, suspenseful, sci-fi story that would not be too far from the works of somebody like
David Cronenberg, if Cronenberg didn't have money.

You see things like "Physics", "Logic" and even "
Rasterizer" and you immediately understand what you need to do to optimize you game. But "Depsgraph"?... It looks like a mysterious thing that nobody knows nothing about. Yet is it one the most problematic things there is in your game. And you are going mad just trying to figure it out.

So I Cleaned Up Some Spaghetti from Dani's Race Code

A few days ago I had told you that I'm stopping with making the police station in my game
Dani's Race because it had a
Spaghetti Code Problem. The
main()
function in the
Main_Update.py file was 1683 lines of code long and contained way too many things in it. At the moment, the same function is down to 641 lines of code. This is still way too much stuff in the
main()
but this is a hell of a lot of reduction.

I'm developing a game called
Dani's Race, which is supposed to be a
GTA clone. A game where you can run around a city and cause all kinds of mayhem. And a humongous part of the experience of such a sandbox world simulator are the reactions from the in-game non-playable characters. If you steal a car, what will be the reaction of the driver? What will the police in the game do? What will other drivers do if you hit them on the road? All of this is a part of my daily problem-solving when working on Dani's Race.
