This week was a pretty productive week for the team, we made progress in building the foundation for our AI drivers, we have implemented a hud-like UI for the driver to observe when we drive, and one of our developed tracks got a really nice revamp!
On the AI driver side, we are looking into various path finding algorithms and currently have an AI driver able to drive around the track. We will have different paths developed around the track for the AI to choose which path they desire to take during the runtime of a race.
With inspiration from Mario Kart, we have designed a hud view that informs players of what their current item is, what the current cost of the items they have is, and how many coins/dollars they have in their inventory is.
This definitely makes it better for the river to understand what strategy to take when driving!
Lastly, going forward with the grocery store setup, one of our tracks got the total grocery store treatment! We are very excited and proud of this one! Now to fix up the other tracks.
