Simple, hackable vanilla JS with no build step
From 2 comments
This is very cool and fun! and its only one page of js code!
kmjoshi on HNI love how instantly hackable this is... clone the repo and serve the directory localy and still connects through websockets, no npm crap in the way. :)

Multiplayer spam: players write sentences with cars and DoS the server

> Looked fun, I was just worried about game performance and server bandwidth usage.. Yes, that turned out to be a legitimate concern... later on I saw people go a step further…

Broken scrolling steering on Chrome Android at launch
From 1 comment
At least on Chrome on Android it is now broken for me (previously working fine), as dragging to steer scrolls the page.

Add tracks
From 2 comments
Nice, but I do feel like it's missing a set of tracks from the other set of wheels.
Spacemolte on HNNice, can we get tracks too?

This is nice. It would be cool to have an option of rendering the controls under my thumb?

How to control the car on mobile
From 2 comments
I see that it works on mobile but u can not for the life of me figure it what the control scheme is. I just touch the screen and the car and to randomly move.
nkrisc on HNFiguring it out is part of the fun ;) (But spoiler, it's just about moving relative to where you start touching... press then move up the screen to go straight.)

not 100% related but is there any good information source on the web to learn how to build a good car simulator ? I've looked around and it's not very helpful. Usually I end up…
