OpenRacing WIP

Tasks & Plans

• Ogre renderer
  • Automatic car 3D model conversion. (can be called "automatic AC3D to Ogre conversion").
  • Automatic track 3D model conversion from Torcs-NG's data (starting from trackgen). Should warn about unsupported geometry and such.
  • Make a camera follows a car (from behind).
• Core engine
  • Load a complete track using C++ plugin : DONE.
  • Initialize OgreDotNet graphic plugins to display the track : DONE.
  • Load cars / physics engine : DONE.
  • Load a C++ driver / create C# interface : DONE.
• Distribution
  • Compile libsimulator from unmodified Torcs-NG repository. No hurry for this. They aren't going to start using our code soon, anyway.
• Driver
  • Implement user controlled vehicle.
  • Load sharpy's driver, make it run a car : Keith will do
• User interface
  • Make a GUI designed for our needs (load a track, evaluate drivers, run simulation in background, ...) : WIP
  • Port to MyGUI's C# interface : Waiting for MyGUI to do it.
  • Work on the installation process
