DFP - #88 TORCS

Friday means game day, and today on the DFP we talk about an open
source Racing simulator. TORCS (The Open Racing Car Simulator)
"TORCS features more than 50 different cars, more than 20 tracks,
and 50 opponents to race against. Your can steer with a joystick or
steering wheel, if the device is supported by your platform. It is
also possible to drive with the mouse or the keyboard. Graphic
features lighting, smoke, skidmarks and glowing brake disks. The
simulation features a simple damage model, collisions, tire and
wheel properties (springs, dampers, stiffness, ...), aerodynamics
(ground effect, spoilers, ...) and much more. The gameplay allows
different types of races from the simple practice session up to the
championship. Enjoy racing against your friends in the split screen
mode with up to four human players." This application can be
