Show HN: Freightfloor. Have 3 minutes? Drive a forklift vs. AI (freightfloor.com)

Have 3 minutes? Drive a forklift, and compete for the high score (and see how AI can work with regular programming).

No first person view or auto-orienting 3rd-person view? Without it, it's not really testing how I do the task, it's just testing how I mentally rotate spatial orientations.

I added a few things: - you can change the camera angle to be behind the forklift at all times and rotate the board instead. - OR, you can drive in rudimentary 3d. I'm gonna work on this, this was a fun add-on.

Thanks for your feedback!

I’m not sure if it’s just my forklift, but when I turn left or right, there’s a slight jolt in the opposite direction. It makes harder to play. Maybe I'm a bad gamer (;

I tried making some changes to the client / server to fix this, let me know if you see improvements, the changes are live!

This is super cool. I was terrible the first time, but got significantly better once I got a feel for the steering. Have to curb my tendency to want to hold that Shift button!
