Traffic Run

The first-party production driving game: a pseudo-3D road, five lanes, near-miss chains, boost state, and a sixty-second run.

Depth from scale and overlap

Traffic Run creates the impression of depth without WebGL. Cars advance through normalized depth, then perspective helpers convert that value into screen position, scale, and lane width.

This is the real Arcade document and runtime, not a visual imitation. Package files are embedded inside the frame so the production remains local and deploys as one HTML file.

JavaScript is off. The production frame still contains the complete source and a no-script notice; gameplay itself needs JavaScript, while all case-study text and credits remain available.

What it demonstrates

Pseudo-3D projection built from interpolation and draw order.
Near-miss, chain, boost, collision, and recovery state in a timed loop.
A reusable viewport, input, shake, audio, and fixed-step engine embedded locally.

Provenance note: Installed from ~/sanzcloud/projects/arcade/site/games/traffic-run/index.html. Copied the full production document; inlined the shared game shell and Arcade engine; removed only the telemetry script and nested lobby control.
