New: AI - December 14, 2010

You can now play against computer players. They can also give you a race demo.

Parts of the game logic were rewritten. For this reason all submitted score were revalidated. Some scores were updated (finish fraction was not correct) and some scores were removed (failed crash detection when passing a wall closely). In any case, everything should work correctly from now on. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Work in progress - November 11, 2010

The AI players are nearly finished, but they exposed a bug in the game logic, which will take a bit of time to fix properly. AI is coming soon though. I'm also working on some new tracks.

Vector Racer is online! - September 23, 2010

The first version of Vector Racer is available online. I'm still working on the following features: scores overview, AI players, keyboard support, more tracks.

Currently, the game works in all major browsers except in Opera. The Opera browser crashes after some time, and I haven't yet been able to find out why. Suggestions are welcome at harm@harmboschloo.com.
