Users on this browser will see a big button that triggers a permission prompt that the other browsers didn't need and that I thought just didn't work on Safari

I'm sorry about the issues

I've made it a lot more clear that it's a computer screen + phone controller

And the safari browser was a little tricky and needed an extra permission, so now users on safari will see a big button to enable tilt steering

I hope you find it a lot better and I am also planning a much better tutorial screen to test the tilt steering and controls before the game starts

And I'm also working simdrive being mobile only if players want but that won't work for schools (unless...)

And hmm I think not really; try having on one server and see how it goes

Right now I'm hosting on just a single server but could also be that I don't have issues because I don't have a lot of concurrent players but personally I think easiest to stick with bigger server unless I run into problems where I really need to

Now when you start a game in mobile, it'll explain clearly this is a two screen game and it should be opened on desktop/tablet

Btw, I am working on a single screen mobile only version too now thanks to yours and a few other comments

This is currently a two screen game where a desktop/tablet screen is the main screen where one would start the game and then use the QR code to pair the phone as a controller for the car (no installs, all in the browser)

I've updated the instructions now so that if you start on mobile it'll explain this clearly :D

Bug was live for about a day before a friend caught it. I thought her phone was out of date lol but then someone else said it too so I double checked

> pink trees it was supposed to be a tunnel sorta things but that was bad - fixed!

> landscape mode prompt also added; yes that's a good quality-of-life improvement

> sausage hands lmao yes this is a little tricky but i think i'll leave the default to no hands for now

thanks a lot for trying it out and giving useful feedback, much appreciated and means a lot! :D

And it moved to online games as more of us moved to other places and party games became our go-to

Love jackbox and gaming couch (that I discovered here on HN)

I saw the vibej.am for this year and I couldn't think of a good enough idea till about the 3rd week but here I am!

This is a game made for me and my friends and it's also very inspired by what I thought the PS3 6-axis controller would be when I first heart about it

Thanks for reading this and I hope you and your friends enjoy playing

You can play either split screen or on separate screens with the room code or even have two split screens play too (max 8 players for now)

It started with F1 cars but working on go-karts, trucks and tuk tuks :D

I've tried to include a lot of "simulation" in the game. There's decent physics that include down force, grip etc and it even changes with/without the rain

Ideally you have an android+chrome phone so you can "feel" your driving with vibrations/haptics but otherwise you'll have just sound as feedback

Oops long post, bye
