This page contains my mods of Stunts (aka 4D Sports Driving). I'll be
discussing the changes (under my username HerrNove) in the Stunts
forum.

The code for these projects is available in this repository.

Supersight

A mod increasing the field of view to a radius of up to 10 tiles
around the car and drawing all objects in high resolution. For very
crowded scenes, it automatically reduces the detail to avoid running
out of memory. Press F5 to see if this is happening (it will print
the number of discarded tiles in the upper-left corner). See the
forum discussion for more details - I intend to produce a detailed
writeup soon.

  * Supersight v1.5 (2025-02-11)

Restunts

A compiled copy of Restunts, a project aiming the rewrite Stunts in C
language. My copy has some fixes with respect to the current Restunts
master:

  * the audio options work, e.g. use /ssb for Sound Blaster audio. By
    copying the appropriate driver files one can also select MT32 (/
    smt) or other supported cards
  * the replays are processed correctly, without desyncing

Stunts with binoculars

These mods allow a slightly longer line of sight by sacrificing the
side view. The result is much less impressive than what SuperSight
can offer, so it is only left here for didactic purposes.

Here a comparison of the tiles being drawn for a car heading north
($):

    versions to see which bytes were changed
