A few more updates... starting to look more like a game, but still a little too slow to be playable. Added in opponent cars - sprites are all placeholders (as is the music). Included code from one of my old sample players as well. I may remove the road shading to see if I can get more speed. 🔊

This makes me so happy. We need to treasure and preserve books as sometime in the future very few people will be buying them and they will be lost like other forms of media.
