Base whole initial system on X by Z grid system. Each integer coordinate corresponds to a "block". Each track is made up of a number of track pieces that correspond to the size of coordinate blocks.
Racetrack has been build. There are 3 pieces: 1x1 straight, 1x1 corner, 4x4 corner.
Next I am working on building the Scene class which will read values out of a file to place pieces of track in the game automatically. This will allow for the creation of a map editor application later on.
Following the track loader, I will be inserting the skybox and terrain.
Currently working on collision detection. Next up is 2D Graphics to give it the look and feel of a game. After that I'll try and drop in some terrain and improve the look of my maya objects.
