Spark* is a futuristic racing game, featuring extremely high speed game play in a fully 3d world!

Though we currently don't have any screen shots of levels that are worth posting we do have a few shots of some of the ships that will most likely be appearing in the game!

Update: July 07, 2001:
I added collision detection to Spark, which wasn't a trivial task. After doing a lot of research, experimentation, and weighing of different techniques vs time to implement (Vcollide, Rapid, MathEngine), I ended up using a bounding sphere and constrained the ship to stay within the boundaries of the track. It's a simple solution and it looks and works great!

I also added sound effects to the game and attached sound events to actions in the game, including the most important sound of all: that cool sound a spaceship makes as it accelerates. (Yes, I know there's no sound in the vacuum of space, but we were never trying to write a sim).

Update: June 01, 2001:
For those wondering what's going on:

No dev work has been done on Spark in nearly 9 months. I'll probably make some quick changes (simple collision detection and music) to finish the game for the sake of it being finished, however, we will NOT be releasing it. The code is nearly 2 years old(!) and really isn't a good representation of what we're currently capable of. We have shown it off in person to those around us and the reactions has been very positive, but we know we can do much better and we want to release only the highest quality programs and games.
