Autopilot Testbed
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
You are tasked with designing the brain of the next generation of autopilots for personal cars.
Your tools? Simulated analog electronics. Make do with what you have and.. try to stay on the road at least.
There is no goal to the game, just the joy of seeing your car NOT end up outside the track. To achieve this, connect the output of sensors to the input of the steering, speed and braking components, with some logic in between.

Note: This game does not have audio. This is intentional.
Requirements
This game requires OpenGL 3.3+ to run.
On Windows, make sure you have a supported graphics card with up-to-date drivers. Some drivers (especially for virtual machines) do not support the required OpenGL version.
Save Files
- On Linux: %HOME%/.local/share/autopilot_testbed
- On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/net.founderio.autopilot_testbed (Currently, no macOS build is available. But if there would be one, you'd find the save files there..)
- On Windows: %APPDATA%\autopilot_testbed
Example car
To load the example car, copy the file to the save file directory and name it somewhere between `save_0.toml` and `save_4.toml`.
It will then show up as a saved car in the menu.
I strongly suggest looking at the example car to see how you can start building the logic - there is no in-game tutorial.

I can´t really give much feedback, besides that i didn´t really understood what was going on in the game. A little tutorial wouldn´t be bad. The game is probably really fun when you understand it.
True, the tutorial is basically comprised of the example file ;) If you want to fiddle with it: Click components in the list onto ports in the "hood". Blue is input, Orange is output. Connect them by clicking each of the ports.
There is no objective and no real point to the game other than me having a bit of fun coding it :)
