Cat Track

Redline Reaver
A downloadable game

Experimenting with the track editing process I built, I wanted to try something fun and complex: Convert a photo of my cat to a track. This process was pretty quick:

  1. In an image editor, remove the background.
  2. In an image editor, change the cat to all one color pixel. This makes the next step really easy.
  3. In Inkscape, create a curve by tracing a bitmap file, using the image from step 2.
  4. Scale the curve to fit in the canvas, make the width thick enough for a track.
  5. Add the checkpoints, starting line, and spawn points.
  6. Run my python script
  7. Rebuild the Genesis game
  8. Boom you've got the attacked Genesis game rom, and can drive on Pixel Road.
