Check out NanoMachinez!
Cool and addictive racing game!
Maybe some of you have time to answer what you think of it (and of course post your best lap) ;D
Totally excellent! Haven’t got time to play an entire go right now tho’

Ewww. I suck >:( Great game though
Can you make a real version, non-applet?
Get the following with 1.4.2_05

blah*3, where you not asked to accept a security cert. by the applet? I was. Looks like yours didn’t ask?

Fun game, I was horrible at first but you learn quickly :), just wondering if there is support for additional maps (maybe I just didn’t see em) or if thats the only one.

Indeed, I didn’t get asked :(. No idea why not. Why would it be necessary anyway?
Simply because it’s signed?
Maybe you could try launching it in Opera7.51 (what I’m using) and see what it does.

Works fine in Mozilla. Great game, lots of fun and I suck at it:)

Seems to have killed my browser, probably doesn’t mean much since the java plugin doesn’t seem to install right on this machine anymore.
really great game! is the source code avaiable?
hmmm nice and fun game, but pehaps you should forbid the cheat that you need only to drive a little forward and backward over the finishline to immediately finish a lap …
Seems like you could just make sure they pass all the checkpoints…
[quote]Nice one! Love that kind of game!
Multiplayer!!!
(wonna have HeadQuarter ?)

the code is already prepared for multiplayer but there are still some perfomance problems.

didn’t you see the loads of tracks and vehicles to choose from when you entered the start page (http://www.cocktailz.org/nano.html)?

depends on what you pay for it … ggg

that’s exactly what i’m doing. or did you manage to miss some checkpoints and NOT get penalty seconds added to your lap time?

you will get some penalty seconds added to your lap time for each checkpoint you miss.
