A raycasting-based racing game for TIC-80

Raycast Racer

Raycast Racer is a raycasting-based racing game, made for the TIC-80 fantasy console.

Getting the game

You have the following options:

• Get it from itch.io
• Get it from tic80.com
• Get it from GitHub

How to play

Raycast Racer is, rather obviously, a racing game. Drive a a few laps around the track and try to finish in first place.

It is highly recommended you adjust your graphics settings if the game runs poorly, since performance heavily depends on your CPU. Reducing scan resolution can deliver the most significant performance improvement.

Controls

• Accelerate: Up (arrow key)
• Brake: Down (arrow key)
• Steer: Left/Right (arrow keys)
• Select in Menus: TIC-80's "A" button (normally Z on your keyboard)

How to use development version

If you don't have TIC-80 Pro, please download the .tic cartridge in the GitHub release tab instead. The normal TIC-80 build can't open .lua formatted development cartridges. Alternatively, you should also be able to use a self-compiled version of TIC-80.

Assuming you have TIC-80 Pro installed, you can install the .lua dev cartridge like this:

• Run TIC-80 Pro
• Type folder to open your TIC-80 directory
• Copy RaycastRacer.lua into the folder
• Type load RaycastRacer.lua, then run
