Steering is a driving simulation game. It focuses on controlling the wheels to move the vehicle according to the principles of physics instead of directly placing the vehicle. The outcome of the game depends on how you handle the situations. Steering is also a simulation tool that helps people who are learning to drive.

The biggest obstacle that a simulation game faces is performance because the calculations are only done on real-time events and do not use fixed pre-computation.

Fortunately, Steering takes advantage of a rival of AI: mathematics. AI hasn’t been and will not be better at what mathematics can do. The game time step of only a few milliseconds does not allow AI enough time to train its network or do expensive inference. Steering uses mathematics to calculate the position and posture of each vehicle spawned at any location on the bridge in the game and it is located on the inclined bridge surface accurately.

When you drive in a game, what factors change the scene? First of all, we need to distinguish the scene in Steering from that in games where its scene is pre-set. When a scene is pre-set, there are only a finite number of situations that occur. Instead of repeating situations, Steering answers the question above: when you drive in the game, the scene changes completely caused by you, with countless scenarios.

But how do you know if a scene is pre-set or newly generated?

Yes. If you see somewhere, for example, a car being thrown hard and flipped but its wheels are not turning, then that is a pre-set scene.

All the movements and collisions in Steering are newly generated according to the principle of kinematics. When you drive, I did not program to move the vehicle. It is all because your finger has applied a force to turn the wheel and rotate the wheel in a certain direction. The turning wheel makes the vehicle move like in reality.

Have you driven different types of vehicles? If so, you probably didn’t feel used to the vehicle at first, right?

This game is called Steering partly because it has a high-quality steering system. You will drive the vehicle as you want. You will win the game with a magic finger, an optimistic spirit and smart handling of situations.

You will probably get frustrated at level 1 first time because the range of choices is quite narrow. If you drive slowly, the time will run out. If you drive too fast over a pothole or turn the car too hard, the logs will fall and the game will be over. Also the vehicle cannot go up the steep cliff.

You will get gas in level 3 and level 6. Avoid collisions or the gas station will catch fire.

What else?

Steering simulates the steering system accurately. For example, the steering angles of the left and right wheels are never equal, but are calculated according to a specific formula. For vehicles with more than four wheels, the steering angles of the wheels are calculated in detail according to their positions. If you are learning to drive, handle the situations in Steering before you hit the road.
