🎮  Racing Game Mechanics with Unity

🚗 About the Project

This Unity project is a racing game that includes the basic physical controls and movement systems of a race car. It simulates core driving experiences such as real-time speed control, road grip, and steering through user input.

⚙️ Technologies Used

• Unity Game Engine

• C# Programming Language

• ShaderLab, HLSL, and GLSL (for visual effects)

• Unity Input System & Built-in Physics Engine

🧩 Implemented Game Mechanics

1. Car Movement (Car Controller)

• Forward/backward movement and turning are handled using physical forces

• Rigidbody component enables realistic acceleration and braking

• Speed limits, acceleration, and braking behavior are custom defined

2. Wheel Simulation

• All four wheels are physically simulated

• Wheel rotations are visually synchronized

• Ground contact creates a realistic driving feel

3. Road Grip System

• Drift and skid effects during turns

• Increased skid ratio at high speeds for realism

4. Camera Follow System

• Dynamic third-person camera follows the car

• Camera adjusts position based on speed and direction

5. User Input

• Controlled via keyboard (WASD or arrow keys)

• Input system is customizable and easily extendable

🗂️ Project Structure

• Assets/Scripts: Core movement and physics scripts

• Materials & Shaders: Visual quality and custom effects

• Scenes/MainScene: Main game environment setup

🧪 Development Notes

• Designed as a starter framework for racing game development

• Can be extended with features like scoring, AI opponents, nitro boosts

• Clean and beginner-friendly code structure for learning and experimentation

💡 Future Plans (Optional)

• UI elements: Speedometer, lap counter, etc.

• Mobile-compatible controls

• Sound and environmental effects (engine sounds, collisions, etc.)
