DEV DIARY

From the dugout: the BonnetBall dev diary

Notes from the build: how the ground, the cars, the sound and the career come together.

  • BonnetBall is out now on iPhone and iPad

    Kick-off. BonnetBall is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad: old-school car football you can play anywhere, fully offline against smart bots.

  • Right down to the ‘oooh’: how BonnetBall sounds

    No sound files and no downloads: every thud, horn, engine note and crowd roar in BonnetBall is generated by the game's own code. Here's how.

  • Your thumbs, your layout

    Five touch layouts, a layout editor, dedicated air-roll buttons, a left-handed mirror and gamepad support: how BonnetBall's controls are built for thumbs.

  • Three o’clock, every time: building the ground

    How BonnetBall's ground is built in code: a gabled main stand with its clock, lattice floodlights, painted hoardings, mown stripes and not a sponsor in sight.
