Teststrecke

A multiplayer couch game that uses one button per player.

Press and hold to accelerate, release so slow down. Steering is controlled automatically, based on distance to a wall. Driving slower results in a smaller turn radius.

Config

The config.ini file is created with default values on first launch of the game.

Key Whitelist

To allow only certain keys / inputs to be allowed, a whitelist can be created. This is useful for gamepads or controllers with multiple buttons to avoid accidentially spawning multiple cars per player.

To create a whitelist make sure to set enabled to false unter [keywhitelist] in config.ini

Start the game. In the menu press and hold all inputs that should be whitelisted, so that they all appear in this list. Then press "Save Key Whitelist" in the lower right corner.

A list of keys assigned to player IDs will be created under [keywhitelist].

Close the Game. Open config.ini and change enabled to true under [keywhitelist].

Key Colors

When assigning colors to controllers with colored tape or using colored controllers the input keys used in the key whitelist can be assigned to fixed colors.

First create the key whitelist as described above.

Close the Game and open config.ini.

Create a new section "keycolors" with each line assigning a color to a player id.

Godot color constants: docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_color.html#constants

Example:

''' [keycolors]

0="RED" 1="GREEN" 2="BLUE" 3="HOT_PINK" 4="YELLOW" 5="PURPLE" 6="ORANGE" 7="WHITE" '''
