TM2020-Sim: extending Trackmania physics simulation
TM2020-Sim extends Gearbox's Trackmania physics and asset loading into a headless simulator with a native C++ and Rust SDK. It adds parallel environments, replay analysis, driving-controller research and validation tools for local game observations.
