Slot Cars

This applet simulates a track with two slotcars. Each car is controlled by an accelerator, which is changed by means of a pair of keys. The keys z and x, respectively, cause the accelerator of the red car to decrease and increase. Likewise, the keys n and m act similar for the blue car. If either car travels too fast around a curve it will jump the track, in which case it pauses for a fraction of a second and its accelerator is reduced to zero. A race is started by clicking anywhere with the mouse. The first car to complete 50 laps is declared the winner.
