Space Race is a trilogy of generative 3d stochastic environments, which develop simulations and games that evolve endlessly over time, exploring infinite mathematical random conditions, inspired in the quest for space.

Space Race #1 is a 3d simulation where teams of autonomous agents compete for a mysterious green fuel, that allows for a spaceship, the only possible way of escaping, to take them to another planet, the next level of the game.

Space Race #2 is an abstract game where the user is invited to play, using a joystick, fighting his way through hostile planets populated with autonomous agents that try to take his spaceship.

Space Race #3 is a 3d simulation where several spaceships depart from different planetoids and search the universe in the quest of new worlds.

Install instructions

You should run all three apps at the same time.

You should observe, if from Space Race #2, where you battle alone hordes of exterior entities, you are able to progress further and faster than the computer playing himself versus itself, on Space Race #1.

You should also observe, since you are engaged in Space Race #1 and in Space Race #2, it will inevitably lead you to Space Race #3, and all space will just collapse right under everyone's feet. Or can you change the simulation rom, human?

If any of the binaries don't work on your system, you probably need Java installed.

You can install Processing.org's Processing 1.5.1 Java directory, like in this folder tree, keep it side by side with the binary (Actually better to grab Java from Processing 0135, the version where these apps were built).

To run Space Race #2, you require a "USB Game Controllers", app uses ControllIO Processing Library to interface with the joystick.

ControllIO       controll;
ControllDevice   device;
device = controll.getDevice("USB Game Controllers");
"Logitech RumblePad 2 USB", for example also works, besides generic single axis joystick.
