A "gamish" interactive multimedia application. It's supposed to be a basic racing game but there isn't really any challenge at all. The "game" itself got missing in the process. Consider this a technology demo then or something...

Requirements on Linux
You have to have these libraries available in your computer: - SDL - SDL_mixer - OpenGL
How to run on Linux
- Extract the package - Execute the ./atw80 file from the root directory of the extracted package
Requirements on Windows
I guess at least OpenGL or some such.
I have actually next to none knowledge about Windows so I can't really give any guidance on the subject. However if you have problems running on Windows feel free to report them and I'll try to fix the issues - or if you have solutions to the problems that would be even better.
How to run on Windows
- Extract the zip - Just execute the atw80.exe binary
would be cool if you packed the linux deps, can't run it on my system because you compiled with a libc version that doesn't match mine
./atw80_x64: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./atw80_x64) ./atw80_x64: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./lib64/libz.so.1)
@Raptor85 I'll try to make some Linux binaries that don't require such recent versions from libc and libc++. This will take a while though (hopefully not too many days).
While I did nothing but hold down the forward arrow key for all three levels, I thoroughly enjoyed doing it. The music was nice and with a bit more time you could turn this into a really great game.
*I'm posting this on all non-browser games I bring up in an attempt to encourage folks to make browser games next time around. Do not take it personally.*
When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.
Well, as you mentioned there's technically no challenge, I'll comment on the engine instead.
I am amazed whenever someone completed a game with C++ in 48 or 72 hours, and I have to ask, is there any reason why you specifically chose that over something more suited to rapid development like flash?
The engine works really awesomely. Did you make the physics yourself?
@4urentertainment I chose C++ since I'm most fluent with it since I have been working with it for several years now. I'm not too familiar with Flash or others - perhaps I should learn at some point...
The physics are powered by Box2d as is mentioned in the about screen in the game.

Yay, a Proton based entry! Solid box2d integration.. Hard mode should be renamed "the most fun mode". Hopefully by next LD Proton will also be targeting Flash...
Cool music track. The only problem with this game was that I could get the best times by holding up continiously. I like the transition effects but the fonts and some of the graphics didn't fit. Good job on the truck physics.
I like the graphics (how did you make the car?) and sound and the physics are really great, but there's ot much game in here. I hope you keep working on it, this could become a really nice game.
Nicely made! Seems a good engine to build on, not too much in the way of gameplay as it stands - couldn't figure out what if anything to do to affect how quickly the car made it around the planet, but still smooth and fun (played on Windows 7 64bit). Would be good fun with a few stunts, jumps etc :)
Thanks for the Windows build! Works flawlessly (XP).
Very nice, it's like a game waiting in there to get out. Reminds me of lots of Flash games where you need to drive over obstacle courses wildly jumping about.
Was neat, the window was a bit tiny though - may be related to me having a multimonitor setup in Linux. Twinview always suck if you attempt to go in fullscreen.

Please consider making a browser game next time.
Also the claimed 32 bit binary now actually is a 32 bit binary and not a copy of the 64 bit (oops).

I like the concept. :) Great graphics and physics.
Thank you for this.

It's just missing challenges.
@Khayet I searched the web for some monster truck images for reference and then just drew the car in Gimp :) Took a couple of hours I think.
but maybe a little to easy
