3D Car Simulator

🏎️ Pure Vehicle Dynamics Playground

3D Car Simulator is less of a "game" in the traditional sense and more of a physics tech demo turned interactive sandbox. It creates a controlled environment to test the limits of WebGL vehicle rendering. There are no races, no timers, and no enemies. The objective is intrinsic: to master the handling characteristics of three distinct archetypes: a Rally Car, a Police Car, and a Vintage Car.

The engine simulates complex forces such as oversteer, understeer, and suspension bottoming. It serves as an excellent stress-relief tool or a training ground for understanding how digital cars react to high-speed inputs without the penalty of a "Game Over."

🧠 Exploratory Learning

The sandbox nature encourages self-directed play:

• Limit Testing: Players naturally tend to test the boundaries—"How fast can I go before I lose control?" This is an exercise in finding the edge of the physics simulation.
• Environmental Interaction: The map includes ramps and open spaces. The brain experiments with trajectory: "If I hit this ramp at 100mph, where will I land?"

🎮 The Fleet

Analyzing the differences:

• Rally Car: High torque, loose traction. Designed for drifting. It enters a slide easily and is controllable at high slip angles.
• Police Car: Heavy, stable, high top speed. It resists rolling over but has a large turning radius. Features a working siren (audio-visual feedback).
• Vintage Car: Soft suspension, rear-wheel drive. Prone to "body roll." Driving this requires smooth inputs to prevent the chassis from unsettling the tires.

🏆 Simulation Activities

1. The Drift Circle

Find a wide open area. Attempt to hold a continuous drift in a circle using the Rally Car. This requires balancing the throttle (W) and the counter-steer (A/D) to maintain a constant radius.

2. High-Speed Collision Test

Drive the Police Car at max speed into a wall or ramp. Observe the deformation (if enabled) or the kinematic reaction. It's a study in digital momentum.

🛡️ Technical Engine

Under the hood:

• Unity WebGL: Likely built on the Unity engine, utilizing its standard WheelCollider components for realistic friction curves.
• Open World: The map is loaded as a single chunk, allowing for seamless driving without loading screens.
