ThomWilhelm3··on I rebuilt my old browser based racing game from 2006
Yeah I used to play them a lot when I was at college, I never really got into the new mobile games, candy crush etc. Shame they aren't as popular anymore.

It's web primarily, but can be played on Facebook also, but I'll probably drop support for this in time once third-party cookie support is dropped.

I always wonder why PHP never seems to favour making breaking changes to keep things cleaner, if you aren't going to improve language constructs in a major version, when will they be cleaned up?

I feel like the designers of the test have to take more blame here. Having a test that was "just show us once and that's it" seems like a really bad test design.

Randomly testing vehicles after they've been produced should have always been part of the testing strategy. Shouldn't have been relying on a random researcher to catch them.

Would be like testing an Athlete once for steroids then never testing them again, ever.
