Matlab Lego Mindstorms Racing

Here's something I'd like to share. This is the result of a project at university just before christmas. It's a racing simulation for two players made in MATLAB. The game is controlled by steering wheels constructed with Lego Mindstorms parts, which allow for continuous steering. The tracks are generated randomly and collisions with the opponent are possible. However the most fun feature is the simple force feedback we implemented: A motor turns with proportional speed to the vehicle's speed and creates a vibrating effect and also makes some noise Smile
Here is a youtube link to a video of our project .

Javascript spectacle

Lately I have become tired of working on project 'Flummi'. The physics part has been rewritten several times now. Of course it has grown every time and today is capaple of much more than I need for 'Flummi'. Still I had the impression, that I wasn't really making much progress. That's why I decided to take a break and have a look at something new:
I learned javascript and wrote a simple game that can be played in your webbrowser. Sure, javascript wasn't designed for games, but it's sufficient for small ones. My game is called 'The Red Dot Game'.
Follow this link to play the game!
I hope it's fun. At least I had fun creating it and maybe I'll make some more and some other day continue work on project 'Flummi'.
