1/ New Features: Wild gameplay options that weren't in the arcade version!

These can be toggled in the config.txt file, or from the SETTINGS -> GAMEPLAY in-game menu. By default they are disabled.

• Rolling Stop: Gradually come to a stop when the timer expires... (as requested in the comments here on itch)
• Turbo Speed: Top speed is boosted by around 50km/h!
• Offroad Tyres: Drive off-road with no slowdown!
• Grippy Tyres: Very easy cornering!
• Bumper Cars: Smash into other traffic with less impact!

Needless to say, you may not want to turn these all on at the same time, but using a combination of them can be great fun.

2/ New Feature: High Score Saving

Yes, your high scores will finally be saved! You will need to exit the game cleanly from the main menu for your scores to be written to disk. If you want to reset your high scores at any point, delete the hiscores.bin file.

(If you don't like the idea of the game writing data to disk, this feature can be disabled in the config.txt configuration file.)

3/ Bug Fix: Drift Left Issue

This is a bug in the original arcade codebase I'd forgotten about. The following sequence of actions would cause you to drift left:

• Drive into the level a bit.
• Come to a standstill.
• Hold the steering left for a period, then let it centre itself.
• Accelerate
• The car veers to the left, even though the wheel is now centered

4/ Bug Fix: Minor Road Rendering Issue

A small visual issue, introduced in 0.9.1 that went unnoticed, is fixed.

Next up, I'll be creating the second chapter in 'The Making Of' series of videos... that will hopefully be ready for early October.
