Finally as promised, here is a SkyCars video blog! Here, I demonstrate earning points, including the accompanying sound/music effects. I also show some new visual tricks in the game. Finally, I show some of the features from the prior blog posts (orbits, lava, etc.), so you may want to view those first: Orbits in 3 [...] Orbits in 3 Dimensions (tutorial)May 19, 2011 – 8:41 am
I’ve been adding some neat features to SkyCars, including lasers, jump pads, and lava. But one of the most formidable development challenges so far has been orbits.

It’s my firm belief that lava, when used sparingly, injects life and vibrancy into a scene. I especially like the combination of [...] Doing crazy things with entity attributes, materialsMay 3, 2011 – 6:26 pm
