Game Play and Mechanics:
The game play is pretty straight forward. The level is designed to  potray an actual functioning city, where a player races other cars while avoiding collision with  predestine cars to avoid collision and slowing down
The game play mechanics in the game is quite easy to understand given that its a bit of trial and error. One of the mechanics of the game is auto accelration, where it makes it easier for the player to maneuver.

With every season being unlocked, the AI adjusts its difficulty level. Which Plays to the benefit of the game.

I had assumed of the former.  My first goal was to make the  game of pong look like  an old school pong that people can relate to.

I applied a material with opeque properties and  applies it into the cascade UI required module. Following are the values that i changed. I had also disabled velocity so that the trail would look seamless. And for the  radial ...
