hehe. Ok, see this post if you don't know what game this is related to (incase the posts gets seperated in time):
http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=34085&b=8

I did this for fun. It seems like most people have figured out it is a very quick game, but takes a lot of practice. For those who are finding it hard (and I'm glad, cos I want this to be a hard game), this is some proof you can speed the course at pretty much full speed. Hopefully you can pick up tips. I've had the benefit of playing it 100 times while making it obviously, but practice and ye shall also triumph!

Pay particular attention to how I release the power for a split section and start turning into the corners early, before putting the power back on before the corner starts. Hopefully this might help! Either way, I made it for fun (this is a digital camcorder so it looks a bit crappy).

One turbo lap, and this could even be quicker ...

Have fun. If anyone else feels like making a home movie of a tasty lap, throw it up here.

I'll try. I've being trying to get something done before I start my new job. I don't think I'll have much time when that starts, as I'll be travelling to see my girlfriend most weekends, plus 9-5 work and 45 minutes commutting each way ... not gonna be easy. But I'll try.

I hear you. I work about 60-80 hours a week, with a 2 hour commute (round trip)... but I try and find an hour or so each morning to mess around with programming

@Walaber - yeah, hopefully I'll get a couple of hours in the evening after dinner on weekdays.

@Jetmech - Well, if I get too busy to do any game making, I'll see if I can break a leg or something!
