What was your role on the game? It looks like something I would buy to race my girlfriend's little sister in. She also has a small spongebob obsession.

I may not be much of a spongebob fan, but... I like the concept that you actually take and deal out damage by ramming into things. It's something most "party-racers" seem to be missing.

I had a hand in many areas, but my main focus was AI.

So if the other racers decide to ram us off the road, it's all your fault?

I kid, really. And props to you. AI is NOTORIOUSLY difficult to program correctly. ...Soooo few games have a good inelligent AI.

Yeah, pretty much. Though with the focus of the game being what it is, I had to make them decide to hit you sometimes in the race levels. Then, there are the demolition-type game modes, where they do nothing but hit you. And actually, that AI was harder to do. But it was really rewarding when I played on the highest difficulty and the AI kicked my ass. Because I knew then that I had succeeded.
