WildRide3D is a car-racing 3D game. This is only a preview release. 
So you can only move around using 2 (out of 3) cameras.

Features:
  - Texture mapping
  - 8 bits graphics
  - Free movements
  - Multi-threaded
  - Perspective correct per scanline
  - 3 different camera views.
  - Fullscreen 320x480x8.

Known bugs:

  - Joystick controls not working under DR9.
  - The texturemapped sky i broken, so I removed it.

History:

v0.10	First release

v0.11	Bug fix.
        Removed some nasty bugs which was discovered with 
        "export MALLOC_DEBUG=1". 

To do:

  - Do a complete rewrite using my new 3D engine.
  - Find a guy who is able to make nice graphics!!!! :-)

How to start WildRide3D:

  - Unpack the archive
  - Start WildRide3D from icon or terminal.

How to navigate in the 3D world:

Player 1:
  - RotateLeft       = Left Arrow
  - RotateRight      = Right Arrow 
  - RotateUp         = Up Arrow
  - RotateDown       = Down Arrow

  - MoveLeft         = "A"
  - MoveRight        = "D"
  - MoveForward      = "W"
  - MoveBackward     = "X"
  - MoveUp           = Left Shift
  - MoveDown         = Left Control

Player 2:
  - RotateLeft       = Left Arrow (on keypad)
  - RotateRight      = Right Arrow (on keypad)
  - RotateUp         = Up Arrow (on keypad)
  - RotateDown       = Down Arrow (on keypad)

  - MoveLeft         = "H"
  - MoveRight        = "K"
  - MoveForward      = "U"
  - MoveBackward     = "M"
  - MoveUp           = Right Shift
  - MoveDown         = Right Control

Player 3:
  - Joystick controls (broken)
  

Track Editor:
  - Plot tile        = A
  - Choose tile      = [ and ]
  - Move cursor      = Arrow keys
  

Other:

  - Game             = F1
  - Track Editor     = F2
  - Joystick lab.    = F3
  - Escape           = ESC

Tips:

  WildRide3D will use a long time to start the FIRST time. 
  This is because its computing a best-match 256 colors palette 
  from all the textures.

  If your monitor don't manage the resolution, try to run it
  from a 640x480x8 screen with 80+ Hz refresh rate. That will 
  help in most cases.

  WildRide3D print a lot of DEBUG info to STDOUT(Termial window),
  so if WildRide3D craches this is the place to look! 
  Also if you are interrested in some rendering info/stats look here.
