A cool real 3D Racing Game.
It looks like LUDORACE, LEGO RACERS, SUPER MARIO KART
and so on. Have fun!
DirectX7 or higher needed.

I'm running 98SE and directX 7 and I get an automation error on load.Does this need to be compiled before using it? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I must say that it is not often that you see a program of this caliber on Planet Source. 5 GLOBES ALL THE WAY!!!!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Amazing. This is some great stuff, definitely 5 globes. (BTW, this runs really fast on my Win2000, GeForce4 Ti4200, DX 8.1) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Nice job here! I don't know if the FPS is correct because it displayed 16-20 FPS. I tried it on XP Pro, 512 ddr ram, 128 mb ddr ATI Radeon 9500 Pro. It runs really fast and smooth thats why I say that. Never the less superb work. 5/5 easy

Kennet, it's not necessary to compile the application (but suggested: more speed); however, if Mesh and Audio dirs are on and full try to comment all the lines about 3DSound and run. Let me know about this. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
When I try to compile it I get an Automation Error, Why ???, About the code, five from me !!!! :) It's amazing (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
X Scythe Do you have hardware acceleration? If the answer is yes, probably the problem is on Display Mode; You, Kennet and Mathias can try to comment this two lines below:
If Not (m_dd Is Nothing) Then mm_dd.RestoreDisplayMode If Not (m_dd Is Nothing) Then m_dd.SetCooperativeLevel 0, DSCL_NORMAL
in the InitWindowed function of the BDirectX class module. Let me know about this, bye.

Hi men (or boy as you like) yourgame is incredibly good, me i am a quite good professional programmer (i made few commercial softs) but one day i started making a game in directX 8.1 and then i realised that i am a poor artist and poor 3d modeler ! THan i started learning Bryce 3D and 3D Max 4, i finally reached a quite quite level. Bla bla bla bla .... At conclusion i would like to PARTICIPATE to your project! Mail me at karim_jouini@yahoo.com ! i am waiting for your mail ! CIAO (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
All i get is LOADING... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I'm having the same problem as others with Win98. I stepped through the app and found that it crashes in frmMain at the following command:
Set Background = RMC.DDraw.CreateSurfaceFromFile(App.path & "\back.bmp", dds)
If I comment that out, it doesn't crash, but just sits at "LOADING" with the music playing in the background. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Looks very interesting. 5 globes in advance. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Great code, but is very slow (not playable) unless your video card supports hardware acceleration. I still give 5 globes though. Nice work. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great stuff! Irritatingly addictive. Try If Val(Right(appo, 3)) > 8 And Val(Right(appo, 3)) < 112 Then instead of If appo = "bloc_009" Or appo = "bloc_010" Or appo = "bloc_011"...(over 100 'Or' statements and string Compares)... Then

I also get an error on Win 98... but after compiling the project, it ran successfully. And I must say... this is very impressive work for VB. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great game! Just a bit too fast on my computer when I turn it turns too quickly. I'll give it a try to fix it when I get some free time, and as for the win98 compatibility problem, upgrade your machines! I mean come on guys, windows 98 is almost 9 years old :P
