A remote-control for the TORCS scr 2013 server patch and a parameterized driver
- Do you like race car simulators? TORCS is a great one, and it's open source.
- Do you like to code your own driver-AI? Install the SCR server patch, which offers a network interface, inspired by the sensor data autonomous race cars can get via LiDAR, RADAR and cameras.
- Do you like to start a race with several SCR driver clients written in Java? Then download this GUI.
- If you don't like to code or don't know how to code, there is a parameterized driver included, which comes in seven colors.
- Searchs a given directory and lists all Drivers (Java classes named "*Driver.java")
- You can
- Drag and Drop drivers as they shall start in the race
- Customize each car with a texture (car1-trb1.rgb)
- Enter the number of laps and select the race-track
- Check for damage, verbosity, test or qualifying
- Press the start button
- Press the button will
- kill any preexisting TORCS or Java process (via cmd.exe)
- replace XML files in torcs-subdirectories with customized ones reflecting your selection
- replace the default texture with the one that comes with the driver (if any)
- start TORCS (via cmd.exe)
- start all selected clients as separate processes (via cmd.exe)
- Last step for you: 3 clicks in the TORCS Menu. Then wait for the drivers to be loaded and enjoy the race.
- works on Windows only
- Java 1.7
- TORCS V 1.3.4 http://torcs.sourceforge.net/
- The 2013 SCR Server Patch http://sourceforge.net/projects/cig/files/SCR%20Championship/
The software was designed to run out of the box, so alternatively you can download the whole repository (approx 500 MB) and then run start.bat.
Screenshot of the TORCS GUI:
This GUI was developed in the context of the lecture "ProInformatik III -- Objektorientierte Programmierung" 2015 at Freie Universität Berlin. http://www.fu-berlin.de/vv/de/lv/216597 Thanks to Bernhard Wymann for his support and maintaining TORCS!
This repository contains a snapshot of a windows install of TORCS, with the SCR patch applied to. The parameterized driver builds on top of the SCR Java Client.
