I would start with a simple test if more than 4 wheels on a kart can be done. Tracked tyres may also be a problem since the wheels a seprarate objects.

cool

I was thinking to use empty for character without wheels like bugzilla(ladybug) too
And making animations for stray (like walk cycle)

... in a far future

Ik know they made a tyreless kart before (the GNU), but it had some troubles. You could have a look at that kart before trying the ladybug.

AFAIK the GNU kart has the same wheels as the Tux kart; they only made the wheels and suspension invisible.

Arthur: suspension is never visible anyway

More than 4 wheels can be done, though some of them will not rotate.
About tracked tyres, I don't think it can be done for now

@Rudy -Great ideas.

@developers - Would it be feasible to support something like a motorcycle in the future?

by **Auria** » 31 Jul 2010, 22:15

Pixel: the look wouldn't be hard, but the physics yes

by **Arthur** » 31 Jul 2010, 22:48

I guess we would be talking about version 1.x or something if no one else steps in and do the work required - kart with 4 wheels and motorcycle with 2 is just a tiny little bit far from each other in terms of physics.

by **Evolution** » 01 Aug 2010, 14:52

It would be hard to make sure the motorcycles don't fall to one side without unrealistic look, or making them slide in sharp turns correctly

by **Pixel** » 01 Aug 2010, 21:35

Also, the front end would have to be animated to rotate (steer) with the turn.

I was afraid it wouldn't be easy. I do think other types of vehicle should eventually be supported, but it looks like the physics will need
to be redone first.

The wormux kart looks like a nice idea, maybe I'll work on it

Not a so good idea actually, because "Wormux" no longer exists

(now it's Warmux, and there are no worms in it

)

Oh I see hehe, anyway, its great that people post kart ideas here. It makes me want to make karts.

EvilTux as Dr MadTux

by **KroArtem** » 03 Mar 2011, 22:48

hehe, looks good
