Racing Car In a Racing Track

This is a circular racing track and a solitary car is logging in hours of lap time. The views can be changed by pressing buttons. There are four views. Helicopter view, side view, front view and back view. Lots of improvements can be done... there can be many cars on the track and one of them can be driven by a player while others move on their own. That would be a real car race. The track can be changed to various shapes.

The first time i saw this project... it took my breath away. A student of CSE of VTU without prior programming experience may not be able to create such a project from scratch. But a sufficiently good student may be able to modify and tinker with the code here. There are a thousand ways to insert bugs in code but highly difficult to make a non working line work. Also testing code requires higher intelligence. Developers face the most challenges but the tester takes all the blame for bugs. That is why the designation of a tester is not sought after.

The sort of education that we went through in our under graduate courses... it just does not let you realize when the transformation happens. You always read a subject and pass it and realize its full import much later. You are wanting to hear something but there is no one to say you that sentence. Sometimes there are doubts but no one to clarify. The enormity of the subject sinks in very late.
