✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so TORCS stands for The Open Racing Car Simulator, and she is literally exactly what it says on the tin: a car racing simulation where you drive in races against opponents that are simulated by the computer. no cap. 🏁

and here's the iconic part — you can also develop your own computer-controlled drivers, which we call robots, in C or C++. main character energy fr fr 👑

TORCS is widely used in research and education as a base for all kinds of projects and experiments, and there's a rich toolchain and documentation available for it. the whole ecosystem? ate. 💅

and she's "Open Source" — specifically under the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later. periodt. 🌈
