2D simulation game using exlusively Lagrangian equations of motion. It's a 2D motocross game similar to X-Moto, ActionSupercross and such. Some stability issues persist but mostly it's good already. I shall compile it soon for Windows: one of the problems is that Windows compilers must periodically be reinstalled, and that's annoying. Using Lagrangians in games is not a well documented thing, but it allows to achieve exellent results in very little time, soon after a good parametrization of a given physical system was found. The problem is collisions... they are more problematic to do. The near-end of this little game is to get started with using Lagrangians in games; the far-end is to provide groung for creating a 3D rally game using Lagrange equations of motion, one that fixes certain shortcomings of the CTruck3D _Open . Ah very much thank to the Maxima project !! Without that program the calculations would have been impossible to do!

Ever had the experience of a 8 bit system, having max. 64k memory, using assembler to write effective small programs? This system is an experimental 8 bit, 16 color computer, with a processer similar to Z80, that (on my laptop using linux with NO opengl support) achieves up to 1.2 Million instructions per second and 50 Hz. screen refresh rate. It has a builtin assembler to load assembler programs. There is a rudimentary rom that implements some basic functions like line input, or a system clock. Also there is a snake game, (depending on that rom), as a reference and for fun! Take a look, give me your reply! When having ideas for better performance, let me know!
