🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so Speed Dreams is a Motorsport Simulator, and it features high-quality 3D graphics and an accurate physics engine, and both of those are out here targeting maximum realism. it's giving serious main character energy 😭👑

it was initially forked from TORCS, and it has now reached a clearly higher realism level in visual and physics simulation — and the way it got there is thanks to its active development team and its growing community 🫶

what it's mainly aiming for:

  • implement exciting new features, cars, tracks and AI opponents, so the game is more enjoyable for the player
  • while constantly pushing forward visual and physics realism ✨

it's also intended for any research, study or teaching activity around physics and AI — which it can do thanks to its GPL V2+ license, and the clear and modular architecture of its C/C++ code base 💜

and because everything is open in Speed Dreams, you can also:

  • tweak your favorite car physics setup
  • create a brand new car model
  • or simply design a new shinning livery for an existing one
  • and even create an entire new track with its landscape
  • or simply improve an existing one

And even more ... 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — shows you a short manual about options 📖
  • -v, --version — shows the actual game version, so you know exactly which era of slay you're running ⭐
  • -l, --localdir local dir — sets the run-time user settings folder. default is ~/.speed-dreams-2, unless you're not using the default CMake configuration for building 🎀
  • -L, --libdir lib dir — sets the run-time library folder. default is /usr/local/lib[64]/games/speed-dreams-2, unless you're not using the default CMake configuration for building 🦋
  • -D, --datadir data dir — sets the run-time data folder. default is /usr/local/share/games/speed-dreams-2, unless you're not using the default CMake configuration for building 🌸
  • -B, --bindir bin dir — sets the run-time binary data folder. default is /usr/local/games, unless you're not using the default CMake configuration for building 🔥
  • -s, --startrace race mode name — directly starts a new race of the given mode. the name you give it is the name without extension of the selected raceman file, among the .xml files in <user settings>/config/raceman. heads up: there's no default ⚠️
  • -x, --textonly — runs the specified race without any GUI at all, which is suitable for a headless computer 🤖
Note: can't be used without -s/--startrace, bestie. it needs a race to be text-only about.
  • -m, --hardmouse — use hardware mouse cursor 🖱️
  • -e, --tracelevel trace level threshold — sets the trace level threshold to the given integer value: 0=Fatal, 1=Error, 2=Warning, 3=Info, 4=Trace, 5=Debug, .... default is Debug, unless you're not using the default CMake configuration for building. only traces with lower or equal level will appear in the trace stream.
Note: may be disabled if CMake option 'OPTION_DEBUG' is not true at build time.
  • -t, --tracestream target trace stream — sets the target stream for the traces, among 'stdout', 'stderr' or <file name>. default is stderr, unless you're not using the default CMake configuration for building.
Note: may be disabled if CMake option 'OPTION_DEBUG' is not true at build time.
