Striving to stay in the right lane of this two-lane freeway left a passing lane open for those that wanted to zoom by and risk getting a ticket. Making small adjustments to speed, instead of larger brake-taps and gas-mashes, put our gas mileage at about 25.7 mpg, compared to around 24.
So I try to keep that in mind - and keep my lead shoe very close to the slow and fast pedals. I am afraid that leaving my foot off of the pedals decreases my reaction time, if I need to react to a sudden slow down. My biggest insecurity with cruise control is the lack of use of my right foot. The difference between human and computer efficiencies may sometimes be infinitesimal, but the challenge was not. Hitting the brakes turns off cruise control and also hurts gas mileage more than just lifting on the gas. I would try hard to not mash the brake pedal. When we approached slower cars, I would dial down the cruise control speed with my left thumb ahead of time. These kept me engaged in the silence of the car’s cabin. There were three goals on this straight-shot ride to Savannah: increase gas mileage, stay in the right lane as much as possible, and hit the brakes as little as possible. I choose nine miles per hour over the limit, because 10 and above is usually what stands out to law enforcement. The speed limit is 70 miles per hour on I-16, so I set the cruise control for 79. I hit the reset button on the steering wheel, erasing the bad gas mileage-average that city-driving created. So on Thanksgiving Day, while the Macy’s Parade crept along in New York City, I concocted a new car game as we cruised I-16 leaving Macon. I enjoyed that challenge on that trip and a few other road trips since. My new relationship with cruise control bore a “game” where I watched the “miles per gallon” gauge increase instead of my previous game of filing down the “ETA” on my Google Maps navigation. This build of the game includes three map which have varying difficulties.Last spring, I wrote about a road trip where I landed a speeding ticket in our new car.
The red coins lower the red meter and the gold coin awards the player with extra points. Each map has different ultimates but they all clear the map of cars in the scene. Blue coins give the player an Ultimate ability which the user can use once per coin. If the meter reaches 100% the player will lose.Ĭoins randomly spawn on the roads and they all help the player in some way.
GRIDLOCK CAR GAME DRIVERS
If drivers have to wait for too long at a traffic light, they'll start to get frustrated and the red meter (road rage meter) located in the top left corner of the screen starts to fill up. The player uses keys WASD (and the arrow keys in the advanced stage) to switch between light states.Įach key represents one traffic light which can either be red or green (wait or go). This game was created during autumn semester 2017 in Game Design & Development, a 3-week course at Reykjavik University in autumn 2017. Doing so awards points for the player so he can beat the current highscore. His goal is to avoid traffic jams and make sure that cars won't have to wait to long at intersections. Gridlock is a traffic simulation game where the player controls lights at intersections.
