This is the first and only update of Dodge Racer for the 2014 NOMAM Atari 10-line Turbo-Basic contest (standard 120-character line category). v1.1 includes several updates including a lap system and new scoring. This game took 3rd place in its category, out of 29 entries.

v1.1 details:

Now obstacles placed on the first lap are worth one point each, completing the lap is worth 100. The second lap is 2 points an obstacle and 200 points, etc. Additionally I also added a 'starting line' so players know where laps are counted, and a score counter at the bottom. (it flickered badly when I put a bunch of stuff on it, but when it's just the score it's not too bad.)

There is still a second track layout in the game, and it takes now 1000 points to see it.
