PowerVR Racer demo for Axim X50v

[Colin Dunstan]

PowerVR Racer is a high-speed, white-knuckle car race demo with contestants battling through an entire city. The game demo was specially designed for the Intel 2700 accelerator chip, so don't bother downloading if you don't own an Axim X50v.

Although this is a 'canned' demo with no interaction, significant game-like code is executed, with banking, braking and suspension being simulated in real-time by the CPU, and executed entirely with fixed-point arithmetic. The city database is modelled with over 20,000 triangles, and the cars are modelled with multiple levels of detail, with 1,500 triangles in the most detailed version. Accurate reflection-mapping and multi-texturing is used on the cars, PVR-TC 4-bit texture compression is used throughout.
