Open Road

About

A late-90s arcade racer in a browser tab: the open OpenNFS engine compiled to WebAssembly, fed with cars, textures and sound made for it. Three new circuits and nine classic ones with rebuilt textures, AI rivals, nothing to bring.

A classic late-90s style arcade racer running in the browser (WebAssembly + WebGL2). The engine is the open-source OpenNFS project (MIT), ported to the web and extended with what a race needs: starting grid, countdown, laps, timing, positions, AI drivers, a HUD, touch and gamepad controls, and synthesised sound.

Description from the project's README.
