Drifting

[rookie1]

For example if you exceed 90 degrees for over 5 seconds it is
counted as a spin out so points are not rewarded.

It's already in the code. As long as the angle exceeds 90 degrees, it's considered a spin out and the drift score is not counted. Very unlikely one can recover from a drift that's more than 90 degrees.

so perhaps there's a way you can not allow the player to be scored for a drift within 5 or 10 seconds following them being 4-wheels-off the track.

If the player can start a drift within 5 or 10 seconds of coming back on track, why not? I think your issue is with only a short length of drift. Maybe we should add a rule that if the base drift score is less than 5, it will not be counted. How's that sound?

at least we should not count 1 or 2 wheels off as off track, however 3 off is hard to imagine, and 4 off should definitely not be scored.

hmm, I think I can modify the rule such that if only 1 wheel is off track, the car is still considered on track. However, I'm not sure about 2 wheels off track. If 2 wheels are off , I would think the car is off quite a bit already. Anyway this should be easily adjustable as we do more play testing.
