What's new since v0.0.5

🛞 Kart sprites sit on the road

  • Each sprite frame is dropped by its transparent padding so the wheels sit on the ground and the shadow, anchored in the sprite's own plane (not along the ground normal, which pushed the sprite into hills on slopes).
  • A 0.1 unit wheel clearance over the ground point: on an uneven road a bump under a wheel no longer covers the wheel row.
  • No more body roll in turns or drifts: the kart stays level on the road, a turn shows as the nose swinging through the view frames (the roll sank the outer rear wheel into the pavement).
  • Karts no longer flicker between views under the heading wobble (the finished kart's stutter).
  • No blob shadow until the kart's atlas has loaded.

🎥 Finish cinematic

  • Far camera, more shots, a racing-line driver; the low tail shot sits higher, looks down at the kart and stays above the terrain.
  • Tracking shots hang off a smoothed kart heading so the AI's steering wobble no longer jerks the camera.
  • Lakitu leaves 4 s after waving the finish flag instead of circling for ever.
  • Mario Raceway tunnel mouths are no longer walls.

✨ Graphics

  • Sharpen pass (hd.js, sharpen.js).

🎈 Battle

  • Karts no longer sink 30-50% into the arena walls; P shows the physics bodies (README updated).
