Racing Starter Kit by SpinMotion

Features:

• Modular Architecture: Utilizes GameEvents ScriptableObject for decoupled, event-based communication, avoiding singletons and simplifying customization.
• Runtime Management: Leverages RuntimeItem and RuntimeSet for dynamic referencing of game objects (e.g., race managers, AI waypoints), enhancing flexibility.
• Comprehensive Race System: Includes race start/countdown, checkpoint tracking, lap timing, and finish conditions (win/lose/timeout), all tied to a real-time position calculator.
• UI Framework: Dual-layered GUI system (Menu UI and Race UI) for pre-race setup (car color, laps, AI bots) and in-race feedback (position, timer, pause/restart).
• AI Behaviour: AI with waypoint navigation, obstacle avoidance (reverse when stuck, innovative steering), and dynamic spawning.
• Cross-Platform Input: Supports both hardware (keyboard/gamepad) and mobile touch controls via a flexible input manager.
• Track Flexibility: Six track-based prefabs (Map, AI Waypoints, Spawning, Cameras, Checkpoints) allow easy adaptation to new racetracks.
• New in v3.0: Complete codebase overhaul for better performance, maintainability, and extensibility compared to previous versions.
• Sound Effects: Integrated SFX system for race cues (e.g., "Get Ready", "Go").
• Compatible with Unity 6: Tested in Unity 2021.3.45f1 and 6000.0.43f1 versions.
• Multiple Camera Views with Automatic Lookback in Reverse.
• Cross-Platform: Tested on Android, Windows, and Mac.
