How to Play?
Rapid Racer has 4 modes of play for you to try.
1. Practice
This mode lets you practice driving around the tracks without worrying about hitting any other cars. When you have had enough practice select 'Quit to Mainmenu' from the menu bar to return to the title screen.
2. Single Race
This is a single race against the 3 computer controlled cars. When you click on the Single Race button a page will be displayed showing the currently selected track. Use either left or right keys or the << and >> buttons to select a track. Then push the select button to start racing.
3. Mini Grand Prix (Registered Only)
In this mode you race against the computer on all 10 tracks with a score board being held. You score 2 points for coming first and 1 point for coming second. At the end of all 10 races the winner is the one with the most points. If at any time you quit out of the Rapid Racer application you will be given the option continue from the last race when you next select 'Mini GP'.
4. Infrared Racing (Registered Only)
In this mode you can race head to head with someone else running Rapid Racer on their Palm Pilot. To start this mode point each palm pilot at one another. One of the players must then click the IR Race button. This Palm Pilot will then become the master and must select the track to race on. The race will then start on both palm pilots.
Controls
In all four modes the game is controlled the same.The Palm Pilot UP and DOWN keys will speed up and slow you down accordingly.
*Hint* Don't speed up and slow down at each corner.Set your speed to a reasonable pace and only speed up and slow down when overtaking.Go too fast and you will have to skid round all the corners.
The preferred LEFT and RIGHT keys are set on the options page and these will turn you car clockwise or anticlockwise, Also if you are stopped you can push the key defined as BACKWARDS to reverse your car.
