Text Racer

by coeneg
Text based racing game.

A combination of a text based game and a racing game.
To control the car you need to type in commands such as "Accelerate, left, right, down, up, stop, brake"

This is my first ever game I tried making and also my second time using Unity. This is also the first time I took part in the ludum dare. The game is by no means finished and this is the progress I have made in the past two days.
Please be aware that the game will probably contain bugs.

Sprites are from Kenney's Racing Pack.

Commands:
Accelerate / Start / Go: makes the car go forward in the direction it is facing.
Up / Forward / Upwards: makes the car move in the up direction.
Turn up / Turn upwards: makes the car turn upwards.
Down / Back: makes the car move downwards.
Reverse / Brake: makes the car go backwards.
Turn down / Turn downwards: makes the car turn downwards.
Stop: makes the car stop.
Left / Go left: makes the car move in the left direction.
Turn left: makes the car turn to the left.
Right / Go right: makes the car move in the right direction.
Turn right: makes the car turn to the right.

Nice idea and good implementation, especially if you're new to Unity! Also nice to see a fellow user of Kenney's assets :-D

Would have liked more tracks and maybe a way to program the car ("right, wait 0.5 seconds, down" etc.) I think this could turn into a nice "learn to code" game for kids :-)

Please rate others to get more people to play your game and rate it. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/games/zero/all is a good place to start (it's the list of people without ratings)
