Car Simulator - VR & 3D - Raycast Car | Made with Harfang 3D

• Implemented in Python
• VR Support (using Harfang 3D OpenVR Support)
• Raycast Car (using Bullet Physics)
• Built on Harfang 3D
• W.I.P

Running the simulator

This prototype demonstrates the usage of Raycast Car Mechanics (suspension, braking, accelerating, collisions etc...) using the HARFANG API in Python.

To run the prototype:

1. Download or clone this repository to your computer (eg. in C:/car-simulator).
2. Make sure Python 3.2 or higher is installed on your computer with the Harfang 3D wheel Harfang PyPi Project
3. Download assetc for your platform from here to compile the resources.
4. Extract assetc to the correct folder (eg. c:/car-simulator/app/bin/harfang/assetc), the path should already be here, all you have to do is extract the assetc files into this folder.
5. Run 1-build_assets.bat.
6. Run 2-run.bat or 3-run_vr.bat.
