The gap
A time-trial lives on fair medal times, exact ghosts and good handling; tuning all three by hand for every track is slow, and so is building the tracks.

What it solves
What it is
A finished, tested kart time-trial whose ghosts replay exactly, whose medals come from the track and whose tracks an autopilot proves.
How you use it
Unzip, run npm ci and npm run dev, then edit src/game.config.ts; npm test checks the game again in seconds.
Source code of a real, playable game to reskin and learn from, with its proofs built into the tests.
Who it is for
Use it when
- Publishing your own short racing game (a boat, a sled, a bike) on itch.io, web portals or your site.
- Learning deterministic physics, input-log ghosts and spline tracks in TypeScript.
- Building a branded racing mini-game for a client or an event.
Built for
- Web and indie game developers who know some TypeScript.
- Studios and freelancers who make branded browser games.
What you get
One config file
Title, save key, handling (engine, grip, drift, boost, walls), tracks as seeds, seven themes with scenery, medal factors, kart paints and sound.
Fair by proof
Tracks are generated and validated from seeds, medal times come from their shape, and an autopilot beats gold on every track on each npm test.
A finished game
Ten tracks and a daily track, drift boosts, four medals per track, a ghost with checkpoint splits, kart paints, instant restart, desktop and phone controls.
Tests and a guide
30 unit tests and Playwright browser runs, a size budget, an upload zip for itch.io or any static host, and a guide to adding tracks and tuning the handling.
