An Outrun-style pseudo-3D racing game built in HTML5 and JavaScript, presented as a four-part incremental tutorial with playable demos and written explanations of the rendering mechanics. It is a tech demo and learning resource rather than a finished game or reusable engine.

Use cases

• learn how pseudo-3d racing games render curves and hills
• build an outrun-style racing game in javascript
• understand retro arcade road rendering techniques
• find a starting point for a browser-based racing game
• study canvas-based game rendering step by step

When to choose

• you want to learn the mechanics behind pseudo-3d road rendering
• you need a simple, readable codebase to prototype a racing game from
• you prefer tutorial-style incremental examples over a full engine

When to avoid

• you need a polished, finished game
• you need a production-quality, well-structured codebase
• you need mobile browser support or guaranteed performance
• you need a reusable game engine with proper architecture
