Clipping, as in collision detection between objects.
If you put you man in position 4, with the windshield on and two ramps positioned just right, you can jam the poor guy into the truck’s radiator. You want to drive at full speed, so that the truck rams the guy into the wall and gets pushed through the truck.
The up shot is that he’s jittering inside, bouncing his poor virtual body parts around while half of him is wedged in the truck, racking up the points for you.
Best I could do was 59,817 (without clipping). Well there went a couple of hours…
If you liked that one, try this motocross trials game. Use your up / down arrow keys to manipulate the rider and the side arrow keys for the throttle. (it takes a few minutes to load…)
I managed to get the clipping trick to work, but somewhat differently. The guy ended up planting one leg through the windshield, and slid down the radiator on his crotch until he fell out. Looked mighty painful, but the score wasn’t that great.
My current favorite inner competition is to see how far I can launch the poor sap over the wall. Stick him in the second position (riding the cab), with one ramp as close as possible and the other as far as possible. Make the truck go at about 85% speed and slide the guy onto the left side of the cab. When the lower end of the truck comes off the first ramp, the front end will be coming up off the second one and catapult him clear over the wall.
