Grid Racers data runs...

Hey, you should download this and play it a few times. Then go to this page and upload your racelog.dat file. This is for my science project.

Don't worry about uploading more than once, the system will ignore duplicates with the same remote address.

Yes, the game is by X-G and Trumgottist.

Well, the idea of this game is really cool. For a long time something completely new. Good work :)

No, no, I didn't come up with it :) I'm just going to be adding an AI to it.

Funny game! I remember having tried this when I was still using Windows, but it crashed on Windows all the time. But here on Linux it worked wonderfully!

But your mixture of C and C++ is ... not very nice. I couldn't compile this manually, and even when I saw you supplied a Makefile ;) I had to figure out the compilation process.

Err, make compiles it... What went wrong?

Just...

for i in *.c; gcc -c $i; done
for i in *.cpp; g++ -c $i; done
g++ *.o -o gridracers `allegro-config --libs`

I'll try it, but you know what X-G would say ;)

The last time I mentioned this, there was a screenshot. This is CGP's gig now. :P

No instructions, no download.

When I click that link, I get a list of links to source and other files. I'm not downloading them one by one... :P

Yep. It's an SVN repo. Anyways, I'm mainly interested in just getting a few random people to try it out, and collect some stats. I might make a proper package and re-release with a screenshot later.

::) You think random people know what an SVN repo is? I don't and I think I'm random enough...

No, but odds are random people are windows users ;)

Anyways, since you requested so politely, I had a few spare moments and did that.

First post will have screenshot.

Too late. I'm going to bed now (it's already 10 past 8), and tomorrow I'll probably be a Windows user again... :P

To check out the SVN repository, you would use this command:

svn co http://home.cgamesplay.com/svn/gridracers

OK, I finally got to play the game (I'm still a Linux user). It's still as much fun as I remember :)

However I fail to see what you want us to upload. There is no racelog.dat file. I looked in the current directory and in home...

it's because you haven't finish a race.

I did a practice run on 1337 and got to the finish in 50 turns. Then I did a two player head to head race and the winner got to finish in 53 turns. Is that not considered finishing a race? I mean it did tell me to pres escape at the end...

EDIT: Hmm, now I did another racer, this time with 4 players (and got to the end in 49 moves) and I did get that .dat file. Maybe I just didn't see it the last time :-X

According to your stats, you ran 3 races :)

Thanks for the data guys. Keep it coming if you can!
