An immersive 3D driving game built with SceneKit that lets you drive on a network of major US interstate highways.
- Major Interstate Routes: Drive on simplified versions of I-95, I-10, I-40, I-80, and I-75
- Realistic Road Markings: Yellow center lines and white lane markers
- Interstate Signs: Green highway signs at major intersections
- Lane-based Driving: Multi-lane highways with proper markings
- Realistic Car Model: 3D car with body, roof, and wheels
- Smooth Controls: WASD keyboard controls for acceleration, braking, and steering
- Physics-based Movement: Realistic acceleration, deceleration, and steering response
- Speed Limiter: Maximum speed limits for safe driving
- Scenic Landscape: Green grass terrain with blue sky
- Random Trees: Procedurally placed trees away from roadways
- Traffic Cars: Static traffic vehicles on highways for realism
- Clouds: Atmospheric cloud formations
- Dynamic Lighting: Sun and ambient lighting with shadows
- Speedometer: Real-time speed display in MPH
- Route Indicator: Shows current interstate highway
- Control Instructions: On-screen driving controls guide
- Statistics: Performance metrics display
| Key | Action |

The game includes simplified versions of major US interstates:
- I-95: East Coast corridor (North-South)
- I-10: Southern transcontinental route (East-West)
- I-40: Central transcontinental route (East-West)
- I-80: Northern transcontinental route (East-West)
- I-75: Eastern corridor (North-South)
- Engine: SceneKit (macOS native 3D framework)
- Platform: macOS
- Language: Swift
- Camera: Third-person follow camera
- Physics: Custom vehicle dynamics
- Rendering: Real-time 3D with shadows and lighting
- More detailed interstate network
- Moving traffic with AI
- Weather effects (rain, fog)
- Day/night cycle
- Multiple vehicle types

- Real GIS data integration
This game is inspired by real US interstate highway data from:
- TIGER/Line Shapefiles (US Census Bureau)
- National Highway Planning Network (FHWA)
- Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS)
The actual interstate system spans over 450,000 miles across the United States. This game provides a simplified but representative driving experience on America's highway network.
Drive safely and explore the interstate system! 🚗💨
