    Fast 3D game: NSpeed for N800/N810

    I have just looked around what's new in Application Manager and found "nspeed", which is a 3D racing game. Quite fast and good key mappings. Just wanted to point this out, because my search for "nspeed" here in the forums turned out nothing, so I thought I'd post this here.

    The game is packaged by Sami Kyostila, but other than that, I can't find any page on the Maemo.org downloads page.

    I try it on my N800 and I am amazed by the graphic speed, but + and - keys are hard to use for acceleration.

    Feels good.
    Is there a way to change the keymapping? Config file somewhere maybe?
    Like dzahariev said, the minus button is not a very good choice for brake.

    There's stuff at /usr/share/games/nspeed/ but can't find a config file anywhere.

    Oh yeah, the secret for the fast graphics is low resolution. Avoid pressing the home/swap/menu key. What ever it is called.

    The author has created an app page for the game:

    I had been looking for a racing game especially after seeing all those iPod touch commercials.

    I really like it, but UP and DOWN should be used for acceleration and brake.

    Nice game. I agree that the key maping could be better. The source of nspeed is available (more info here http://unrealvoodoo.org/hiteck/blog/...rted-to-maemo/)
    so somebody with more time than I do could figure out the key mapping.
