ideas for improvement

I will very likely not work on this further but if you're interested, here's the things I didn't manage in jam time

• add fumes / trail when accelerating
• add more props
• add camera effects like zoom depending on speed or slight angling (= more zoomed in the start)
• wheels on both sides of a line should be prevented by adding collision to the connection from back to front wheel
• angle of arcs is based on connection between start and end, not actual angle
• apply effects like gradients to shadows or glow to platforms
• collectibles
• more path
• fix bug where rotational velocity is affected by user-input-affected wheel force (currently it over-rotates in the opposite direction of wheel grip) (tried to fix it, no dice)
• optimize
