Kart Drift Lab — A Top-Down Kart Drift Feel Laboratory
Final Product: Kart Drift Lab — A Top-Down Kart Drift Feel Laboratory
Kart Drift Lab is a playable top-down kart physics lab generated from a one-line seed prompt in Neta Studio: a single kart on an empty grid floor, tuned until the grip and drift feel right. No menus, no tracks — just the hand-feel. Press accelerate, throw the kart into a corner with Shift, and watch the drift angle and mini-turbo meter respond in real time.
Every handling parameter is live: engine thrust, max speed, brake force, turn rate, drift turn rate, grip in normal and drift states, drag, rolling resistance, drift trigger force, mini-turbo charge rate, thrust and duration, and camera look-ahead — 15 sliders you can drag while the kart is driving. Charge a drift to 100%, release, and fire a mini-turbo boost; skid marks and drift smoke stay painted on the floor behind you.

Game Features
- Live LLM Crafting — Every value in the handling panel — engine thrust, grip, drift threshold, mini-turbo — was designed and iterated by an AI engineer in real time as the game was built, on Neta Studio’s live AI pipeline (deepseek-v4-flash real-time crafting).
- Real Grip & Drift Physics — A fixed-timestep physics model decomposes velocity into forward and lateral components, applies frame-rate-independent grip decay, and lets drift angle, charge and release flow into a mini-turbo boost — the feel of classic top-down kart racers.
- Live Tuning Panel — 15 sliders — engine power, max speed, brake force, turn rate, drift turn rate, grip (normal/drift), drag, rolling resistance, drift trigger force, mini-turbo rate/thrust/duration, camera look-ahead — all adjustable while the kart is driving.
- Drift Charge & Mini-Turbo — Hold Shift into a corner to charge the mini-turbo meter; release to fire a boost. Skid marks and drift smoke are painted on the floor as you slide, and the state readout shows live drift angle and charge.
- Preset Handfeel Profiles — Four one-click presets — Sensitive Grip, Standard, Slippery Drift, and KartRider-Faithful — switch the whole hand-feel instantly, from arcade grip to ice-slick slides.
- Browser Playable — Runs directly in your browser, no download needed. WASD or arrows to drive, Shift to drift, R to reset position, H to toggle the live telemetry overlay.

Production Process Breakdown
AI receives the seed prompt — a top-down kart racer whose core requirement is hand-feel, faithfully recreating the grip and drift of classic arcade karts — and generates the world: the drift lab premise, the tuning parameter set, and the top-down kart sprite.
AI designs the game from that premise: the fixed-timestep physics model, 15 live handling parameters, the drift charge → mini-turbo boost loop and the preset profiles — and generates the 16:9 cover key art plus the kart sprite, cut out to a transparent PNG via BiRefNet.
Game built and published with one click, instantly shareable online — playable in the browser on desktop, no download needed. The live AI pipeline keeps the hand-feel loop sharp from first throttle to full drift.
Scene Backgrounds
Asset Prompts
"Top-down view, directly from above, of a single small racing go-kart pointing straight up (north). Clean flat cel-shaded illustration style, thick outline, bright red body, small black tires visible from above, a tiny driver helmet visible from top. Centered. Plain solid white background. No text. Crisp, readable silhouette at small size. Game sprite asset."
"Flat cel-shaded game cover for Kart Drift Lab — a top-down kart drifting physics lab. Wide 16:9 key art: a bright red racing go-kart with a tiny driver helmet powersliding across a dark navy test-floor grid, leaving a dramatic arc of black skid marks and puffs of white drift smoke behind it, speed lines and a glowing cyan mini-turbo energy trail, subtle motion blur, HUD-style speedometer accents in the corners. Clean bold vector game-art style, thick outlines, vibrant red vs dark teal contrast, high-energy arcade racing poster composition, no text, no logos, no watermark"
"Remove the background, keep only the kart sprite, output transparent PNG" — the white-background kart sprite is run through BiRefNet to produce the transparent in-game asset (birefnet-general).
