But they stay on it! You try and get through a gap in the children, and they walk in to your almost stationary car, and die!

I tried speeding the whole way and dodging people.

Hit one person right near the end

This is so addictive

Moral of this game, get to 80, spend your time in the middle of the road, weaving.

lol

It is funny, every time something bad happens I just break out in laughter

Sense of speed in this game is shocking as well. 30mph looks like 100!

The fact that you are late for work would be of no help to a parent who's child dies due to your excessive speed.

Funny how an almost stationary car can "mow down children" lol.

I probably have too much time on my hands but I was bored and took a look at the 'physics' behind this game:

Code:

inertia = 8.800000;
iforce = inertia;
accel = 1.300000;
weighting = 8.000000;

zebra_frequency = 25;
parked_frequency = 90;
other_frequency = 68;

inertia controls how effective the brakes are; the higher the number the worse they are.
Oh, and the game is hard-coded to always make you 10 minutes late.

Just for fun, here's a modified version with proper brakes

Hahah Pho, that's awesome. Could you not give it some nice splat graphics for kids and let you continue?

New headline?
"Careful Driver mows down chavs. Society wins!"

Exactly, the poor parent has to live with the fact they were reckless in allowing their child to wander into the road for the rest of their life.

At least it's realistic in the fact the guys working the road works are doing nothing.

lol,

a much better version

i demand you fiddle more to make the game more interesting

playworker · 1 Jun 2007 at 10:28

"Arriving at work" is always when the timer gets to 10 minutes late, if you start the game and tap the Up arrow so the car's moving at 1mph then you arrive at work before actually encountering any obstacles or children. If only real life was so simple

Worst.

"Game".

EVAR

It's not even educational

iCraig · 1 Jun 2007 at 10:48

Couldn't quite squeeze through the gap, not without kissing one of them with the wing mirror.

Overlag · 1 Jun 2007 at 10:51

erm ok... 25mph, brake as soon as i see crossing, and run kids over.....

those brakes are worse than mine.... and mine are ****
