You can tweak the variables like draftFromBehind, draftLength, etc. to get a more realistic program. The values I posted were chosen mostly for entertainment value. Side drafting is the most effective, which allows cars to pass each other.

Here's a little guessing game designed around a boxing match!

Choose 1, 2, 3 or 4 each round to try and win.

Here's a few levels I've put together. They may be in reverse order of difficulty, I'm not sure.

Here's a bit of demo code for a possible driving game.

Controls:
Accelerate / decelerate with the up and down arrow keys
Steer left / right with the mouse pointer
Spacebar to tap the brakes

A code editor written in JB. It's primarily the Just TEXT text editor, but also has syntax highlighting. This program has a poor attempt at highlighting unique (i.e., misspelled) variable names. There are a number of improvements that can be made.

Bold? Yes, that can be done. It works by having a bold font exactly the same size as the regular font, in this case I'm using Source Code Pro font, available at 1001fonts.com, and in this zip file (i hope)

To install the fonts in Windows 7, simply extract them, then right click and choose install.

The ants see only the themselves and the eight squares around them. Each ant has a behavior that may change and a memory that indicates the ...

This version of Christmas Defense:
*** restarts if you lose the game, re-initializing the important variables
*** eliminates the mainwin as per wayne in the forum thread
*** eliminates the unnecessary creepPosX() and creepPosY() arrays
*** uses the tougher nextWave schedule to make game challenging ...

In this version, the Reindeer can add a much needed boost to the festive ambush. The Reindeer snowballs ...

EDIT: I see that this has been downloaded many times, but I would suggest scrolling down to get the InitDefense.zip or one of Cassiope's versions. This original version is mainly for historical purposes- it's too simplistic.

A very, very simple tower defense game.
