Re: [Supertuxkart-devel] Brand new camera (irrlicht branch)

[Stephen D. <ist...@gm...>]

I've changed the camera so that it turns to the side of the kart based on
only the steering angle and the skidding amount: not based on the speed
anymore. I think it works more like you suggested, although at one point
while working on this I had the camera swinging too far sideways and it made
me dizzy (I of course changed it after that). :)  So, I really hope that
this doesn't happen to anyone.
