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) : DONE.

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 : DONE.
• 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 : DONE.
• Work on the installation process
