Racing prototype updates...

| I tried to make more progress on the ranking system, and wow, it was much harder than I expected... |
I couldn't find an accurate method for measuring the player ranks/positions... I tried several different approaches... adding more waypoints, comparing distances, times, etc.
The method I'm using now seems about 90% accurate - it counts the waypoints passed, and compares the distance to the next waypoint. But, this fails in cases where the trailing player is actually closer to the next waypoint, coincidentally due to the shape of the track or weird positioning.
I wasn't planning on having a first-person view, but I tried it, and it's kind of awesome, so that may be included as an option or an unlockable feature. I laughed thinking about how excited I would have been as a kid to see one of these classic top-down games suddenly turned into a first-person view.
Unfortunately, it's looking like I still have a lot more work and testing to do before I even finish the prototype, but I'm getting a little closer.
