Checkpoint System

How it was planned
The game consists of a checkpoint system. This involves certain lines or points on the track, which the driver of the car has to pass.

The Use of this System
The primary use of this system is to force players to not take unwanted shortcuts.Its fundamental to the game that every drive follows the same rules.

Secondary Purposes
An additional advantage of this system is, that it is relatively easy to measure certain time intervals.

How to ensure correct driving
The game logic has to ensure every drive has past the checkpoints correctly. Therefore the checkpoints will have to be visible to all players at all time. In addition the checkpoints have to be placed in reasonable locations. The checkpoint has to ensure that there is no room left to shortcut a curve.

How it is now
Checkpoints have been implemented into the game. Though it is not possible to measure time intervalls.

Checkpoints usually appear near curves for the reasons mentioned above.
