I've recently begun development on a new plugin, known as "XRacer" (for now!).
It's been envisioned as a racing game, but the specifics have not yet been worked out.
For now, it's just a graphical demo that does a fly-through over a road.
Code is at http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/1124
Any ideas/suggestions/feedback you may have are badly needed.
Here's an list of things that I'll probably need to complete this plugin:
- A name!
- A game story
- Sprites (cars, trucks, billboards, etc.)!
- Maps!
- A map editor to make maps
- Some people to help me out :P
(screenshots attached)

How about "Rockbox Speedway" or "Rockbox Speed"? Wish i could program, keep up the great work :)

Spaces in file names?
What kind of madness is this?!?

Perhaps "speedway.rock" or "speed.rock" would be a good adaptation of the name.
Then "Rockbox Speedway" could be the full name of the game.

are you writting it in C or LUA?

If I wrote in LUA, it'd get about 1 FPS. :P

This seems pretty neat. Reminds me of Rad Racer on the NES, which gave me endless frustration. :P
I really don't have any skills to help with the project, but I'll cheer for ya.

I know this hasn't been posted in for a while, but I'd love to see this get worked on.
I could offer my help in making graphics and sound (if that's needed). I have examples of my gfx work at http://www.vg-resource.com/thread-25648-page-5.html and my YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM0jv_zGf3_fUIciomDGEmQ.
Also, maybe RoCar or Rockbox GP? idk

I'vebeen inactive for a while now, but I'd love to get back to xracer when I find some time.
I'm also thinking about porting it to run on an SDL to make development a bit easier to approach.
However, I'm locked out of Gerrit now due to google ending openid 2.0 support, so until I can get into gerrit again to change my email, no rockbox work from me :(
