Note that this will be my first MZX game and probably will be kinda nooby.
--------------
So I've decided to make some MZX game, but rather than making poor man's Ultima, I've decided to make something more interesting - a pseudo 3D racing game. As my first game, it'll be rather simple - Title screen and game&watch-styled gameplay (arrows will move car between 3 roads, up&down ones will be used to change gear (two gears, kinda like in Mach Rider or F1 Race for NES)). MAYBE there will be more than one area to race on, but I'm not sure about that.

BASIC GAMEPLAY:
===============

As I said, gameplay will be Game&watch styled (sudden jumps of car to neighbor lane instead of smooth movement, though other things will move more fluently). Player will have to avoid stones and other cars (maybe I'll add collectibles like fuel later on). Music in this game will be non-existent (unless you can call fake engine sounds "music"). The more distance you get, the faster things will be spawning and moving (with a cap so game won't be impossible).

Fun fact: The game was originally developed for Notch's DCPU16, but resolution and charset limitations were killing me, so I've suspended project. Now I've found about MZX, I'll finish this as MZX game.

Are you actually racing against something? Or just dodging obstacles?

Welcome to DMZX.

Well, technically this is a race, because you are passing by other cars . But mostly dodging, yes.

Sounds like fun. I've only seen one MZX racing game (which was oddly hard to find and isn't even in the vault) that didn't piss me off, you can find it HERE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO VAULT PAGE
EDIT: It's called DUI 20XX

Anyway, would you like some music? (or rather, is it that you don't want to make/find music or don't want music in the game?)
Most of us actually enjoy making it and would love to entertain an excuse to do so. All you have to do is ask, I'm sure you can find someone.

Nope, if any music would be included, it'll be for main menu only, made with play command. I want it to be as oldschool as possible. Also I'm going with 4 lines, because I had space to make such:


This is still unfinished though. I will add some stars at that blank space to the right of big mountain.

Shouldn't the outter lines be angled a bit more? also there is more space on the left most lane compared to the right most lane.
