Best Method To Make 3rd Person Car Race Game?

There are different ways of doing this. E.g. skewing 2d sprites to create arbitrary polygons, to get a 3D perspective. You can also rasterize the polygons yourself. As usual, google has some good resources on making games: http://www.extentofthejam.com/pseudo/ https://codeincomplete.com/posts/javascript-racer-v1-straight/ The first link helped me a lot when I did a racer a couple of months back. I chose to rasterize the image myself. It’s not terribly complicated, but in the end I als…
