Nice work Stevie!


Micro Sprint is a one switch, top-down, single screen racer. It looks like Super Sprint and plays like Scalextric, without the hastle of putting your car back on the track every 2 minutes!



hastle -> hassle

switch -> button ?

@ OSJ, I've been working on you know what for the last 3-4 days. I'm surpirsed at how close I was to completing it before I took a wee break. I won't make the mistake of putting timescales on it but here's a couple of teasers..

Waw this game looks great Stevie!

I remember having fun while testing your 3D engine.
Hope it will work for you :) Love that style, really.

Is there any level editor ?


Stevie G(Posted 2012) [#12]
For Microsprint? There is but it's not user friendly, although enough to allow me to build a new track in 5 mins. I may consider tidying it up and releasing it if I get enough interest.

That looks awesome. I miss games like this and indyheat.

Demo version will give me a memory access violation when i switch to the full screen option and jump back to the main options screen. It also does this as soon as the cars slow to a halt at the end of a race.

I have an Nvidia Gforce 9800GT if that's any help. Also running XP serv pack 3. Any other info you need to trace problem?

When you return exit the options for the first time, an options.ini file will be created in the Data/Config folder. Also, when you play for the first time, the Lap record will be broken (it's initialised at 59.99) so at the end of the race, a record.dat file will be created in the Data/Records directory.

I can only assume that something in your setup is not allowing the app to write to these directories, hence the error. I have XP and sp3 and cannot recreate this. I assume you are extracting the full game and not running directly from the zip file?

Has anyone seen this before or can suggest a solution?

Cheers
Stevie

Micro sprint is now free. Go on, give it a go and let me know what you think.

This was an absolute steal at $2.50 a couple of months ago, so now no-one's got any excuse.

And to Stevie's credit, it's not necessarily free - it's switched to Pay What You Want, so if you get any joy out of the game at all (it's surprisingly skillful and takes some practice to get better) then I highly recommend tossing him a few bucks in appreciation.
