Good racing time !

• Better physics
• Hills and vertical curve (Voxel ?)
• Other cars
• Make each opponents different color
• Multi-car racing
• Why not a mini ray-tracer to display cars ?
• Menu, presentation screen with choice (keys, difficulty, d'adversaires ..)
• Landscape around the road
• Network gaming
• High scores, other laps, etc ..
• show the turns number
• Bigger window
• Game musics
• Parameter for the behaviour of opponents
• Different opponent style

• When in 2 players mode, it seems that the frame speed is not the same.
• Shared Memory may stay persistant when killing speedx.
