This option is meant to allow two players of different levels to enjoy playing together, by making so that the better can still try to drive as well as possible without winning easily.\r\n\r\nThere is currently only one possible level of handicap. If the level of the players are not that different, it may be too strong, so a more middle level would be useful. If, however, one of the player is a novice, it's still not enough, and an even stronger handicap would be appreciated (it's still possible to beat the AI easily when playing in intermediate with the current handicap activated, so a stronger level wouldn't make this impossible).\r\n\r\nSome UI changes for the setting of the handicap level would also be needed ; by separating it from the player's name/profile choice."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/comments/386167014","html_url":"https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/3223#issuecomment-386167014","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/3223","id":386167014,"user":{"login":"hiker","id":6138652,"avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/6138652?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker","html_url":"https://github.com/hiker","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hiker/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-05-03T01:11:13Z","updated_at":"2018-05-03T01:11:13Z","author_association":"OWNER","body":"OK, considering that there are more people interested than I thought, I am happy to take this on board with (very) low priority for now. My main issue is actually the GUI. We need to convey more information to the user, have more settings, ...\r\n\r\nOne option: would it help if we just left it with one 'handicap' value, but allow people to pick different kart class (atm we have 'difficulty to include both - it affects the AI and the kart specs). E.g. you could play on (what is atm) 'easy', and we could call it \"50cc\" ... well, whatever ;)  Or maybe if we allow this we would not even need handicap?\r\n\r\nRe handicap and networking - afaik this actually works more or less automatically (atm), it's again more of a GUI issue for me.\r\n\r\n"}}
