Different surfaces aren't planned since the physics wouldn't really work well.

Banked track pieces will most likely come next update!

I have no plans to stop working on this game as long as it remains popular and people keep playing it.

Unordered checkpoints aren't planned for now.

Changing the checkpoint color after passing it sounds like a good idea though!

This is coming in either 0.5.0 or 0.6.0

Other cars aren't planned anytime soon, but maybe in the far future!

Respawning at checkpoints are coming next update

Split times are coming next update! Multiple ghosts might come then too but it hasn't been decided yet

There will be a proper terrain editing system at some point!

But there will also be a lot more colors for the blocks next update

This would require an expensive license from Apple, so it's not really solvable for now.

There are ways to get around this though

Do you know of any public domain sound effects for this?

Finding good sound effects which are loopable usually takes a long time

I'd like to add some more realistic lighting, but since most people seem to play PolyTrack on low-end devices I'm not sure how much I should focus on this

I think adding an option to start from anywhere would be better, but I haven't decided on exactly how I want to do this yet

Maybe! I'm not sure that there would actually be a huge advantage to using a controller.

But I feel like this is difficult to test without adding it to the game, at which point removing it would be difficult.

Maybe in 0.6.0

Nothing, these runs will be automatically deleted once the verifier system gets to it

An airbrake is coming next update! Boosters maybe in the future

This is due to floating point inaccuracies. There is no plan to fix this currently

Is this still a problem?

The community seemed to be mostly against controller support in the past, since people worry it will give players using controllers an unfair advantage.

It might be possible to have separate leaderboards for keyboard/controller, but it'll be quite easy to cheat and submit a controller run to the keyboard leaderboard.

Make sure hardware acceleration is enabled in your browser

The track is corrupt, but it still shouldn't crash the game

I experimented a bit with this, but it was difficult to make the turns smooth enough without adding too many vertices

Respawning at checkpoints is coming next update. Boosters maybe later

Thank you!

I still haven't been able to reproduce this reliably.

Does it happen often for you?

Maybe!

When watching another ghost from the leaderboard it is possible to pause/unpause when using the spectate mode by pressing space.

It's not possible while playing though.

That's a good idea. Should be quite easy to add.

I'll see if I have time in 0.5.0.

I'll do an experiment with the cloud shadows too when I have time.

Checkpoint respawns are coming next update!

This is a difficult problem to solve, since the pillars need to be slightly shorter to not go through the road and cause z-fighting on the underside.

I've been looking into a solution for this for a while though. Maybe I'll figure something out!

Very long replays are not verified.

I've been thinking about limiting them to 99:59.999 though.

This is a bug I'm looking into fixing for 0.5.0!

Yes, I think this is correct!

0.2.0 and lower doesn't support running as a downloadable app.

I guess I could keep the other versions downloadable when I release new version though!
I'm just a bit worried people would accidentally download the wrong version.

Thank you!

There isn't such as a function yet, but it's definitely on my todo-list!

If there would be a currency, it would only ever be for cosmetics and not affect gameplay in any way.

Maybe in 0.5.0 or 0.6.0

• There will be no green blocks, since I want to make a proper terrain editing system instead
• Different surfaces aren't planned for now, but I have nothing against it in the future
• Trees might come in 0.5.0
• Boosts might come in 0.6.0 or 0.7.0
• Magnets, ice and other effects are probably not coming anytime soon
• Being able to place multiple track parts in the same spot is something I'm looking into for 0.5.0, but there are a lot of technical problems
• Multiple laps might come in 0.6.0
• A combined start/finish would come at the same time as the multilap update
• In the future I want it to be possible to directly switch between watching the ghost and playing without having to return to the menu, and being able to unpause is already possible there

There is also a small modding community in the Discord!

Different times of day and environments will come at some point! Not sure when though.

Boosters might come in 0.6.0 or 0.7.0, but nothing is decided yet.

Being able to select a start position when testing the track in the editor is planned, but it's quite low priority for now.

Trees and other decorations is something I want to look into for the next update!

I've actually already implemented this for 0.5.0!

Stunt mode might come in the future, but not anytime soon
