Spin Tires is an off-road racing game, which is simulated by Havok Physics library. It features extrudable terrain, which is perturbed by tires of your truck when they spin. This produces unmatched gaming experience. If you take a look at media files, you shall notice terrain plants, which are all completely interactive and destructible. So how does the game qualify in categories?
- Best Game Optimized for Intel Graphics: Spin Tires uses its own graphics engine, which is specifically tuned for GMA. In fact, the engine has two modes, one of which runs without advanced special effects, while the other targets more powerfull videocards.
- Best Threaded Game: Two heavy computing tasks currently present in Spin Tires: physics simulation and terrain modification (which includes painting, subdividing, and extruding terrain). Havok, as physics library, performs simulation in multithreaded mode. Apart from this, Spin Tires use arbitrary amount of additional threads to perform terrain subdivision and extrusion, and texture compression. These operations are piplened into worker threads. |
