Re: [Torcs-users] (no subject)

Hi

The most important thing is to use a development environment which can 
list/follow references and has a good debugger, I use under Windows (I 
guess you are under Windows because of the "26" projects) VS2008 with 
"Virtual Assist X" to navigate code faster, maybe VS2010 or later can do 
this equally good, I do not know. Under Linux I use usually an editor or 
IDE which supports "ctags" or a similar technology.

For your case I recommend the following:
- Read the TORCS FAQ, the researchers section (ReOneStep), have a look 
at the simulation timestep
- Have a look at the file human.cpp, this is the "driver" which is 
driven by user input.
- Have a look at the input setup, files are in src/libs/confscreens, I 
guess this is in the "client" project IIRC
- Build a debug version, set breakpoints and inspect the callstack
- You can generate some documents under Linux with "make doc", an old 
version is available here: 
http://www.berniw.org/aboutme/publications/api.tar.bz2

Your project sounds interesting, please post a link to the result then 
(if public available).

Depending on your architecture you will not need to modify TORCS at all, 
e.g. you could consider writing a "hid" driver for your input device 
(you will need the Microsoft Driver Development Kit/SDK, but 
Universities have those things usually available), so it would appear to 
TORCS as any other input device, then you could use your interface as 
well for any sort of application (other racing games, jump and run, 
whatever...).

Best regards

Bernhard
