Motion control on Safari is also fixed now!

Users on this browser will see a big button that triggers a permission prompt that the other browsers didn't need and that I thought just didn't work on Safari

Thank you very much for trying and taking the time to give feedback :D

I'm sorry about the issues

I've made it a lot more clear that it's a computer screen + phone controller

And the safari browser was a little tricky and needed an extra permission, so now users on safari will see a big button to enable tilt steering

I hope you find it a lot better and I am also planning a much better tutorial screen to test the tilt steering and controls before the game starts

Yes there's quite a few! Check out vibej.am for a bunch of single screen browser games

And I'm also working simdrive being mobile only if players want but that won't work for schools (unless...)

Yo that's cool nice work! Snake is my favourite one :D

And hmm I think not really; try having on one server and see how it goes

Right now I'm hosting on just a single server but could also be that I don't have issues because I don't have a lot of concurrent players but personally I think easiest to stick with bigger server unless I run into problems where I really need to

My bad thank you for the useful feedback, I've added this :D

Now when you start a game in mobile, it'll explain clearly this is a two screen game and it should be opened on desktop/tablet

Btw, I am working on a single screen mobile only version too now thanks to yours and a few other comments

My apologies, the instructions I had were not clear

This is currently a two screen game where a desktop/tablet screen is the main screen where one would start the game and then use the QR code to pair the phone as a controller for the car (no installs, all in the browser)

I've updated the instructions now so that if you start on mobile it'll explain this clearly :D

Fixed, sorry about that; it was a regression bug :(

Bug was live for about a day before a friend caught it. I thought her phone was out of date lol but then someone else said it too so I double checked

> pink trees it was supposed to be a tunnel sorta things but that was bad - fixed!

> landscape mode prompt also added; yes that's a good quality-of-life improvement

It took me a while to realise that most people don't care how it's done or how it works they just want something useful and working (even if it's vibe coded or duct taped)
