Detailed Description

Vehicles: entities of the class vehicle (a jeep, a truck), driven by the player. An actor (a model with a rigid skeleton, see jo_3d_model_draw_pose()): the bones of the wheels turn, the bones of the front wheels and of the steering wheel steer. A simple physics: the speed (engine, brakes, drag), the steering (the turn radius comes from the wheelbase), the 4 wheels on the ground (the height, the pitch and the roll of the body follow the ground under them, with a little suspension), the collisions (the ground says where it can't go, the solid entities stop it: a hit at speed damages them).
