README

          
Staccato is a racing game, developed for the 2013 edition of js13kgames.com

It was at first inspired by Supercars on Amiga, then I figured out that using WebGL meant that the viewpoint could be easily changed.

Default controls are WASD for player 1, arrow keys for player 2, F1 and Page Down to change the camera. Keys can be modified through the menu.

Submitted version has no intro music, I had to make a choice to stay below 13k.  

Thanks to :

 - Ctrl-Alt-Test for Shader Minifier (http://www.ctrl-alt-test.fr/?cat=3)

 - Marco Monster for car physics formulas

 - Adam Sawicki for keeping the latter online (http://www.asawicki.info/Mirror/Car%20Physics%20for%20Games/Car%20Physics%20for%20Games.html)

 - Authors of glsl.heroku.com for the GLSL playground and samples

 - p01 for minimal Audio header

 - Dojoe for Noiseplug - implementation of a compact chiptune player and bass + lead instruments (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=59694)

 - Jeroen Tel - chiptune is a cover of Outrun Europa C64

 

 

Technologies used are WebGL for display and WebAudio for sound fx.

Rendering is called through requestAnimationFrame(), whereas game logic and sound use setInterval() to keep a (hopefully) constant refresh frequency.

Successfully tested on FF 23+ and Chrome. Slow under Opera 12 because of software rendering.
