Stunts Reverse Engineering / Re: Restunts repository - Git ...

Last post by llm - November 11, 2025, 10:13:14 AM

I just find that SDL is in itself like a language and programming for it in C is a very different experience from just making a C program (or C++).

name a third-party library (with non trivial api and multi-domain and multi-platform) for C that does not give you these vibes

as soon as you would try to write a multi-platform wrapper (capable as SDL2-3) around input,output,sound,etc. you would see that the SDL api is really small for what its helping/keeping from you - you're just not used to it - thats all

Note 4 - Perhaps I made a mistake with some pipsqueak, many of the names are unfamiliar, it's nothing personal

Very nice fact-based list - I belong in Class B, though, because I've never won a ZakStunts race.

Agree. I'm not convinced by any of both ways haha. But something else than a special track or race for zct300 we should do.

Maybe a track made by zak but for another competition? (Does it even exist? Maybe zak built a track for imsa competition or wrc or usc...

Wait, the Plus races did counted in the championship! They had an average point so the three races counts as one.

Indeed; it's just that incorporating them into the season scoreboard like that nowadays could get a little awkward, or at least I feel like that (and of course I could be wrong about it!).

Maybe . I prefer to race for fun and share the fun with other pipsqueaks than hide away in the shadows. That's why my numbers are so low in average


BTW, more statistics: There were 18 seasons with 12 races, 2 seasons with 13 races, 2 seasons with 11 races and 2 seasons with 9 races.

Well this is not actually true. How to catalog 2002 season? 12 races and 3 plus races that counts as 1 race in average. So season 2002 had 12, 13 or 15 races?

Either separate special race (like Plus 1-2-3 in 2002) or ZCT300, I suggest to restrict the car choice to LM002 - back to classics.

It would be cool to have non-championship "Plus" rounds in that vein, though we'd have to build the support for that on the site. I like the idea of doing it on ZCT300 as a LM002 race, too!

To ensure a LM002 race we wouldn't even need to suspend the bonus system; liberal adjustment of the coefficients for that specific race should suffice. I guess we'd also want to keep the LM002 out of the rotation between ZCT294 and ZCT299, to avoid having a spoiler race earlier in the season (that, too, can be achieved through scheduled usage of admin coefficient adjustments).

What I really missed from becoming a top tier pipsqueak: consistency (and reliable nerves).

I have several weak cars and my performance is heavily depending on reference points.

2002-2003: Tier C
2004-2006: Tier B (a few ZCT victories, mixed with really awful performance in several races)
2007-: Tier A (but far from S), sometimes falling back to B

My best year was 2014 (yeah, the DQF one, main opponents: Duplode, Akoss Poo), probably the closest to Tier S:
P1, P3, P3, P4, P1, P1, P1, P2, P2, P2, P1, DNS

Because you did not take it seriously... at least 35-40 times from that.
