Circuit tiles
I've finished making the editor for circuit tiles:
The idea is to make the circuit road as a bunch of connected tiles: building blocks with different styles for each element (walls and "wings"):
Tile elements are rendered by "textures": since the game will use flat shading, a "texture" is a collection of 2D polygons mapped to a 3D rectangle and sorted as one, so for example the road lines are always rendered above the rest of the road:
Rendering coplanar polygons with these textures allows to reduce polygon count quite a bit and also removes lots of sorting issues.
This is the texture editor, BTW:

Cool. Is the idea to make a traditional third person view car racer with your scanline rendering technique to achieve high fps on the gba?
Yeah :)
I still don't know if it will be first person view only or both first and third, but it won't be a top down one this time.
