Critical Reading: 670
Math: 760
Writing: 770 -> 80/80 multiple choice, 8/12 essay
Core score (math and reading, the main two colleges look at) -> 1430/1600
Total score: 2200/2400!
Note that in this comment I mentioned that I thought 2200 was the absolute highest I could get, and I got it. For that I am excited.
Now, about that math. A 760/800 means I missed one, maybe two question

This is my sole WIP; I'll update it so as to keep you guys updated on how development is going along.
No-name Demo is a racing game, with a focus on specific core game aspects. Controls are as follows:
Arrows control acceleration and direction
Space causes the car to brake
F uses secum (assimilates to nitrous in Need For Speed games)
The main features of my demo thus far are:
- Waypoint pathfinding - The black-gray circle gradients are points which all AI cars attempt to turn to face. When they get near the next one, they switch to move towards the next.
- Uniqueness in car types and graphics - As of now, I only have two car types: Match Box and Splash; (both are level 1) you and all other racers are randomly assigned a vehicle. As of now, they use the same sprite, but they are each given a primary and secondary color, which they use to draw specific sub-images of the cars. Each differs in speed, accelaration, traction, turning rate, and secum efficiency (essentially how fast speed-boosting [by pressing F] depletes your secum)
These are the main features of my current demo, feel free to give feedback. I do realize that the collisions between racers and walls are a tiny bit unrealistic. That I am working on.
In the future, I intend on working on actual races, (laps, place system, etc...) improving AI; adding weapons, racer, and tracks; and improving overall polish.
Feedback is very much appreciated.
