So its confirmed I'm bad at racing games no matter how simple XD
Love what youve managed to implement, personally my space bar seems to get a little confused been holding and spamming. Maybe a rythymish system could work well?
First time I heard about the space bar having issues with high frequency taps, maybe it's your keyboard?
Rythm-based input doesn't quite fit what I had in mind. The inspiration are classic slot car races, but since your average keyboard can't read pushing strength, I go with pushing frequency instead.
I am sure though with a little practice you will become a world class tap tap racer :D
