Game Synopsis
Golden Wheels is a solo project made in Unity. Customize, then race against an NPC
opponent and collect gold coins along the way. If a car touches grass, its game over.
First car to make two full laps around the track wins. Collecting 10 coins will activate
the Golden Wheels ability, increasing speed and control of the car drastically. After
winning or losing, the camera moves to a view of the finish line and shows the placements.
Experience
Golden Wheels was my first 3D project so everything demonstrated is new experience,
and a lovely change from C++ and SDL. This project took me 2 weeks to complete.
We were provided prebuilt AI for the NPC car, and just had to mark a course for it to
follow, which made the Unreal Engine version of this project reasonable (The same concept,
except to create the AI from scratch).
