AI improvement

Turbo OutRun Reimagined v0.3.8f alpha
A browser game made in HTML5

From now on the AI cars can change lanes! They will do this when a slower car is approaching in front of them, or when they are on a lane that's about to disappear. While they will always move aside when their lane is about to disappear, they will check a few things before changing lane when a slower car is approaching:

  • Is there a lane next to them? If so, is it about to disappear?
  • Is there another car next to them?
  • Is another car approaching in the lane next to them?
  • Is another car overtaking them?
  • ...

If they can't move aside, they will brake instead. Once they start moving aside, they won't stop until they are done.

Things to improve:

  • Moving to the outside of a corner should be promoted, because it should be faster
  • Make them change their mind once they notice moving aside is a bad idea (because you're blocking their lane for example)
  • Sometimes they will clip through each other
  • They can't fall down in the mountain stage and will clip through walls
  • Small tweaks so they would make (even) better decisions.

You can also ram them off the road now. (To the side actually.)
