Hotlaps Gamemode. #101

Open nova-triio opened 2 years ago

nova-triio commented 2 years ago

Pretty self-explanatory... Add a hotlaps gamemode, where you have a rolling start and keep running the same circuit over and over without stopping, then you grab the score from the best lap, and port that over to be saved. This could be on a seperate leaderboard, with -obviously- only circuit tracks to use. hmm...

Rules:

A hotlap only counts if all checkpoints are hit (obviously)
Starting gate is yellow instead of red when not valid
Hitting the start checkpoint resets the lap at any point (meaning a practice lap is mostly optional and bad laps can be aborted)

Other considerations:

How to handle "ending" the mode (and when to upload to leaderboard? do it in the background each lap? idk)
- What is the UI / UX flow for this, if any? o_O
How to handle ghosts (will need to trigger the ghost at the start of each lap, destroying any existing and replacing with the fastest at runtime if a new record was set)
