CarSim is a basic program that I wrote as an exercise in basic rendering, and implementing the NEAT library.

Download the code, and the submodules, with git:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ewilden2017/CarSimulator
//or, to pull submodles after downloading:
git clone https://github.com/ewilden2017/CarSimulator
cd CarSimulator
git submodule update --init --recursive

Then, build the project with cmake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Use -DBUILD_THIRD_PARTY=OFF to search the system for the needed libraries. Otherwise, it will build them from source.

Run the code as ./CarSim [Speed Multiplier]. The speed multiplier is multiplied by deltaTime to speed up the simulation.

There are a few basic keyboard inputs:

• ESC - closes the window
• W,A,S,D - moves the camera
• Q,E - cycles car selection
• Z,X - zoom in and out
