Javascript Pseudo 3D Racer

An Outrun-style pseudo-3d racing game in HTML5 and Javascript. This project was originally developed by Jake Gordon (@jakesgordon) as a tutorial for pseudo-3d games. It is being ported to the Animatron Javascript player and turned into a full-fledged game by Brian Clanton (@brianclanton) and Andrew Hollenbach (@ahollenbach).
