People have done this before, Rob. Swan has done something like it,
where have you been? Just that he has got a dodgy looking boating
thing.

Ridge Racer has been discussed on the n.g. before. But Namco would no
way put out R.R. source code on the Yaroze.

You would be better if you didnt just cut and paste other people's
work into you editor and called it you own.

How about we got job in a games company and got paid to do it? Yaroze
stuff is done in spare time, which most of us have not much of. Hmm..
Oh I get it, you had the idea, that you wanted to do this game
thinking you could copy the source code from someone and change the
graphics and call it "your game". And then probally post to the news
group say why doesnt this work.

	Well if youre not going to do that, I can give you a clue, it
was mentioned before. Think of track as a tunnel made of blocks with
your objects, then only draw the blocks of tracks that you need to do
so and then when you pass out of it you dont draw it any more.
	So to start with try modeling a block on the Yaroze, using a
3d package of some sort. Dont forget to paint on some surface maps
like the road and bricks on the walls. Then get a car/model to move
about in the 3d space, and have some sort of method where you can
switch on or off the block in realation to where you in the 3d space.
	The dynamics of the car/models etc, can be found a physics and
maths books. What it basically means is putting some effort and work
into it.

Sorry about any spelling/grammer mistakes its late in the afternoon.
