will you make the game support gettext so it can be localized? also.. it seems to me that english in the current version would welcome some touch-up (grammar, typo). otherwise a great game (one last rant: missing non-fullscreen mode). joe

gettext does not make much sense at the moment as the font in game does not support international characters. I intend to wait for new Allegro which should include TrueType fonts support and do it then. But thanks for an idea. Windowed mode is easy. Just run "racer -w". I am not a native speaker so the English may be poor. :) If you are able to fix this, you are welcome.

I suggest you to start with a (D) category car and you can alter difficulty to "very easy" and game speed to -30% in settings. Then the game should be relatively easy to play - at least on racing tracks. One hint - if you are not accelerating (pressing arrow up), then your car has much better steering - a bit unrealistic :)
