Having to write today's blog inside a text editor and save it for later, since my broadband is currently having some previously-scheduled downtime.
The world without internet.
Good grief, how did we ever cope!?!

Work on the racer thing got a bit of a pause yesterday, as I pushed ahead with the ALChoon. It turned out OK.
I could probably have done a better job with the video, but .. meh, it'll do!!

After that I added a couple of bits into the Newsletter, but the majority of that will be written today.

With all the weekly chores out of the way, then, it's back to working on vehicle physics.
I guess I could probably draw a car, right now, since I've no internet and nothing much else to do.
.. That seems like a reasonable plan of action.

I think I can probably get away with just two flat sprites per car, and layer them so they give a half-decent turning effect. I think.. Maybe..
I'll have to try it out and see how good it looks.
I'll also need a crashed and burned car sprite, too, because where's the fun in making a racing game if you can't have your car explode inexplicably every time it veers off the track!?!!

Kaboom!
