70-427: Publisher 505 Games in partnership with Kunos Simulazioni announced on 3 June 2015 that they would bring the game to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2016 and on 20 January 2016 revealed a release date of 22 April 2016. On 24 February 2016 it was announced that the console release was delayed to 3 June 2016. 505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni announced another delay and a new release date for the console versions on 6 May 2016,

140-541: A map [ string ] interface {} (map of string to empty interface). This recursively describes data in the form of a dictionary with string keys and values of any type. Interface values are implemented using pointer to data and a second pointer to run-time type information. Like some other types implemented using pointers in Go, interface values are nil if uninitialized. Since version 1.18, Go supports generic code using parameterized types. Functions and types now have

210-480: A feature complete version of the game, was released on 15 October 2014. The final version, following general bugfixing and performance optimizations, was released on 19 December 2014. The game continues to receive free updates, new features and paid DLC with additional content such as new cars and tracks. In May 2015, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of the game was announced. It is published by 505 Games and

280-458: A function type; thus, func(string, int32) (int, error) is the type of functions that take a string and a 32-bit signed integer, and return a signed integer (of default width) and a value of the built-in interface type error . Any named type has a method set associated with it. The IP address example above can be extended with a method for checking whether its value is a known standard: Due to nominal typing, this method definition adds

350-467: A limited form of structural typing in the otherwise nominal type system of Go. An object which is of an interface type is also of another type, much like C++ objects being simultaneously of a base and derived class. Go interfaces were designed after protocols from the Smalltalk programming language. Multiple sources use the term duck typing when describing Go interfaces. Although the term duck typing

420-410: A method to ipv4addr , but not on uint32 . While methods have special definition and call syntax, there is no distinct method type. Go provides two features that replace class inheritance . The first is embedding , which can be viewed as an automated form of composition . The second are its interfaces , which provides runtime polymorphism . Interfaces are a class of types and provide

490-529: A multiplayer community that could really benefit from more clean racers. The mods available for the sim, however, take it to the next level", concluding: "If you're looking for a good sim to enter the sim-racing community with, Assetto Corsa is a fantastic choice that will provide an incredible number of cars and tracks for a one-time payment." On 15 May 2015 Rock, Paper, Shotgun 's Tim Stone put Assetto Corsa on place five of its "The 25 Best Simulation Games Ever Made" list. The game has been regularly featured in

560-525: A partnership with RSeat Ltd. and France Simulateur SARL and the release of an Assetto Corsa -branded full simulation rig named RSeat RS1 Assetto Corsa Special Edition , supporting a wide range of peripherals and capable of being upgraded with full motion systems. The Steam version of Assetto Corsa is included in this package. Assetto Corsa (PC) received mostly positive reviews. It received "generally positive" reviews from critics. The PC version received an aggregated score of 85/100 rating on Metacritic , with

630-835: A range of peripherals like mouse, keyboard, wheels, gamepads, triple-displays, TrackIR head tracking and VR head-mounted displays as well as Nvidia 3D Vision and professional motion systems. The software can be extended through modded third-party content. The game allows to adjust realism settings fitting the experience of the player, ranging from artificial to "factory" or entirely disabled assists. A variety of session modes and session settings are available for offline and online play. Offline campaign, special events, custom championships, hotlap, quick race, drift, drag and race weekend sessions can be played alone or against AI. A server manager tool allows to create servers for online sessions, LAN sessions are also supported. When joining an offline/online session players can adjust their car through

700-545: A run-time type check. The language constructs to do so are the type assertion , which checks against a single potential type: and the type switch , which checks against multiple types: The empty interface interface {} is an important base case because it can refer to an item of any concrete type. It is similar to the Object class in Java or C# and is satisfied by any type, including built-in types like int . Code using

770-401: A set of types (known as type set) using | (Union) operator, as well as a set of methods. These changes were made to support type constraints in generics code. For a generic function or type, a constraint can be thought of as the type of the type argument: a meta-type. This new ~T syntax will be the first use of ~ as a token in Go. ~T means the set of all types whose underlying type

840-554: A setup interface. Depending on the car this includes gear ratios, tyre compounds, tyre pressures, fuel, suspension settings like anti-roll bars, wheel rates, ride height, packer rates, travel range, damper settings like bump stops and rebounds, heave dampers, alignment setting, drivetrain settings for differential lock and pre-load, hybrid settings, adjustments to the wings, brake bias , brake power, engine limiter, etc. Assists like traction control and ABS , turbo boost, KERS , ERS and engine brake settings and brake bias can be adjusted on

910-659: A spiritual successor to the Suikoden series. The partnership was announced February 2021. On 27 June 2022 D3 Go! was acquired by 505 Games. The acquisition also included the intellectual property of the Puzzle Quest games. In November 2023, 505 Games parent company Digital Bros announced plans to lay off about 30% of its global workforce—around 130 employees. Job cuts continued into 2024, when 505 Games closed offices in Germany, Spain, and France. In February 2024, 505 Games sold

980-509: A total of 1.4 million copies. 505 Games 505 Games S.p.A. is an Italian video game publisher based in Milan . It was founded in 2006 as a subsidiary of Milan-based Digital Bros . 505 Games was founded in 2006 in Milan as a subsidiary of Digital Bros . The company found its early success through its video games such as Cooking Mama and Zumba Fitness . In April 2012, 505 Games took over publishing duties from THQ for

1050-426: A weakness that might be changed at some point. The Google team built at least one compiler for an experimental Go dialect with generics, but did not release it. In August 2018, the Go principal contributors published draft designs for generic programming and error handling and asked users to submit feedback. However, the error handling proposal was eventually abandoned. In June 2020, a new draft design document

1120-406: Is T . Go uses the iota keyword to create enumerated constants. In Go's package system, each package has a path (e.g., "compress/bzip2" or "golang.org/x/net/html" ) and a name (e.g., bzip2 or html ). References to other packages' definitions must always be prefixed with the other package's name, and only the capitalized names from other packages are accessible: io.Reader

1190-409: Is a list of all 15 official race tracks; 4 DLCs are marked with (*). Some of these tracks are available in different layouts (45 layouts in total). Kunos Simulazioni built Assetto Corsa on the experience acquired with the development of netKar Pro and Ferrari Virtual Academy . The studio acquired practical knowledge working closely to real motorsport as their R&D office was located at

1260-669: Is a statement. In Go, statements are separated by ending a line (hitting the Enter key) or by a semicolon " ; ". Hitting the Enter key adds " ; " to the end of the line implicitly (does not show up in the source code). The left curly bracket { cannot come at the start of a line. Go has a number of built-in types, including numeric ones ( byte , int64 , float32 , etc.), Booleans , and byte strings ( string ). Strings are immutable; built-in operators and keywords (rather than functions) provide concatenation, comparison, and UTF-8 encoding/decoding. Record types can be defined with

1330-600: Is coded in multiple programming languages. C++ is used for the simulation part and Go for the multiplayer server. The user interface and launcher core is coded in C# , but the interface frontend in HTML to allow users to create interface modifications. Python can be used for developing plugins for retrieving simulation data in real time. APIs used are DirectX 11 for graphics, FMOD for sound and ODE for collision detection and rigid body physics . The Assetto Corsa Technology Preview

1400-488: Is described as a first-person experience, where the player controls an astronaut exploring debris of a wrecked station in outer space. In January 2015, 505 Games confirmed the acquisition of the intellectual property (IP) rights to the multi-award-winning Game of the Year 2013, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons from Starbreeze Studios. In April 2015, 505 Games announced a publishing agreement with Swedish game developer Starbreeze for

1470-431: Is not precisely defined and therefore not wrong, it usually implies that type conformance is not statically checked. Because conformance to a Go interface is checked statically by the Go compiler (except when performing a type assertion), the Go authors prefer the term structural typing . The definition of an interface type lists required methods by name and type. Any object of type T for which functions exist matching all

1540-619: Is often referred to as Golang because of its former domain name, golang.org , but its proper name is Go. There are two major implementations: A third-party source-to-source compiler , GopherJS, compiles Go to JavaScript for front-end web development . Go was designed at Google in 2007 to improve programming productivity in an era of multicore , networked machines and large codebases . The designers wanted to address criticisms of other languages in use at Google, but keep their useful characteristics: Its designers were primarily motivated by their shared dislike of C++ . Go

1610-483: Is one of language's major selling points. Go is influenced by C (especially the Plan 9 dialect ), but with an emphasis on greater simplicity and safety. It consists of: Go's syntax includes changes from C aimed at keeping code concise and readable. A combined declaration/initialization operator was introduced that allows the programmer to write i := 3 or s := "Hello, world!" , without specifying

1680-493: The struct keyword. For each type T and each non-negative integer constant n , there is an array type denoted [ n ] T ; arrays of differing lengths are thus of different types. Dynamic arrays are available as "slices", denoted [] T for some type T . These have a length and a capacity specifying when new memory needs to be allocated to expand the array. Several slices may share their underlying memory. Pointers are available for all types, and

1750-489: The uint32 value x as an IP address. Simply assigning x to a variable of type ipv4addr is a type error. Constant expressions may be either typed or "untyped"; they are given a type when assigned to a typed variable if the value they represent passes a compile-time check. Function types are indicated by the func keyword; they take zero or more parameters and return zero or more values, all of which are typed. The parameter and return values determine

1820-576: The 250 GTO , 288 GTO , 312/67 , 330 P4 , 812 Superfast and the F2004 , as well as a community-voted seventh car from Ferrari's history. After receiving over 30000 votes in total the result of the poll to be included in the DLC is the 2017 Ferrari SF70H with 15.39% of the votes. Preliminary VR support for the Oculus Rift Development Kit 1 was first added in 2013 and support was updated throughout

1890-807: The Maserati GranTurismo MC GT4 . The introduction of modern Formula 1 extends the simulated hybrid systems in the game with the complex Energy Recovery Systems (ERS) utilised in modern F1 . On 25 October 2016 Kunos released the Porsche Pack Volume 1 DLC. It introduces the Porsche brand to the game together with seven new cars: the 718 Cayman S , the 1974 911 Carrera RSR 3.0 , the 2015 911 Carrera S , 917/30 Spyder , 918 Spyder Weissach , 935/78 "Moby Dick" and Cayman GT4 Clubsport . The Ferrari 70th Anniversary Celebration Pack DLC, released on 19 September 2017, added seven new Ferrari cars:

1960-529: The PS4 version receiving 73/100. Eurogamer.net , in its January 2015 PC review, writes that "Kunos' solution is simple, elegant and—if there's any common sense knocking around other developers—surely a standard for all driving games that follow in its wake" and concludes that " Assetto Corsa' s laser focus on the driving experience works wonders—and when it comes to replicating that simple, brilliant pleasure, there's no other game right now that does it better"; it awarded

2030-712: The Vallelunga classic layout, new drag strip distances, a graphical rework of most existing circuits in the game, as well as the introduction of the Abarth 595 SS (including variants), Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray and the 2015 Ford Mustang . The Dream Pack 1 downloadable content (DLC) was released on 11 March 2015, adding a number of new car licences to the game: Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti , Alfa Romeo 4C , Alfa Romeo GTA , BMW M235i Racing , Chevrolet Corvette C7.R , McLaren F1 GTR , McLaren P1 , Mercedes 190E Evo II , Sauber-Mercedes C9 and Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 . It also introduces

2100-505: The Go project. Go is a humanist sans-serif resembling Lucida Grande , and Go Mono is monospaced . Both fonts adhere to the WGL4 character set and were designed to be legible with a large x-height and distinct letterforms . Both Go and Go Mono adhere to the DIN 1450 standard by having a slashed zero, lowercase l with a tail, and an uppercase I with serifs. In April 2018, the original logo

2240-670: The Night from Igarashi's own ArtPlay, DICO and Inti Creates , though Inti's involvement has been reduced. At the Sony E3 press conference on 11 June 2018, 505 Games announced a partnership with Remedy Entertainment to publish Control . 505 Games acquired Australia-based Infinity Plus Two , the developers of the Puzzle Quest games in January 2021. 505 Games is working with Rabbit and Bear Studios to publish Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes ,

2310-519: The RPM. Assetto Corsa started development in 2010 with a driving school project for Automobile Club d'Italia . In 2011, Kunos moved to developing the game in Unity engine , however, due to constraints of external integrability i.e. not being modding friendly, and due to long loading times, they decided to leave it be and at the end of 2011 built a new engine completely in-house from the ground up instead. The game

2380-570: The Xbox One "matching the PS4 as closely as possible". The console version of the game received an entirely new UI optimised for use with a gamepad. On February 14, 2018, a new release called Ultimate Edition , containing all previously available DLC, was announced for consoles. This edition was then released on April 20, 2018. In August 2021, a mobile port of the game was announced. It was officially released for iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) on August 31 and it

2450-447: The ability to be generic using type parameters. These type parameters are specified within square brackets, right after the function or type name. The compiler transforms the generic function or type into non-generic by substituting type arguments for the type parameters provided, either explicitly by the user or type inference by the compiler. This transformation process is referred to as type instantiation. Interfaces now can define

2520-447: The benchmark that Gran Turismo Sport , Project CARS 2 and Forza 7 will have to beat." In contrast, GamesMaster said that it is "lacking in most areas compared to its rivals." As of May 2016 the game is ranked among the most played racing sims on the Steam platform. There are more than 900 active multiplayer servers for Assetto Corsa and the game is used by several leagues around

2590-457: The effect of creating a combined interface that is satisfied by exactly the types that implement the embedded interface and any methods that the newly defined interface adds. The Go standard library uses interfaces to provide genericity in several places, including the input/output system that is based on the concepts of Reader and Writer . Besides calling methods via interfaces, Go allows converting interface values to other types with

2660-600: The empty interface cannot simply call methods (or built-in operators) on the referred-to object, but it can store the interface {} value, try to convert it to a more useful type via a type assertion or type switch, or inspect it with Go's reflect package. Because interface {} can refer to any value, it is a limited way to escape the restrictions of static typing, like void * in C but with additional run-time type checks. The interface {} type can be used to model structured data of any arbitrary schema in Go, such as JSON or YAML data, by representing it as

2730-403: The fitness game Adidas MiCoach , following a lawsuit between THQ and Adidas . In April 2013, they acquired the license of Drawn To Life series. The purchase included rights to the franchise as a whole. In November 2013, it canceled Ashes Cricket 2013 and issued refunds. In April 2014, 505 Games announced a publishing agreement with Adam Orth's Three One Zero of the game Adrift . The game

Throw in super-realistic sound, solid AI and smooth graphics, and Assetto Corsa could well be

3150-586: The game was released on consoles on 26 and 30 August 2016 in Europe and North America respectively. A second game, Assetto Corsa Competizione , was released in May 2019, while the sequel, Assetto Corsa EVO is set to be released in 2025. Assetto Corsa is a racing simulation that attempts to offer a realistic driving experience with a variety of road and race cars through detailed physics and tyre simulation on race tracks recreated through laser-scanning technology. It supports

3220-508: The game's Early Access period. Work on Oculus support ceased after support for Development Kit 2, with Kunos Simulazioni citing increased difficulty in keeping the latest Oculus SDK's supported while production priorities are focused on updates for the PC version and preparation for the console release, promising "to support VR—and not necessarily only the Oculus Rift—when we will be able to take

3290-518: The introduction of Circuit Park Zandvoort , and added the Alfa Romeo MiTo QV , Audi Sport Quattro , Lamborghini Miura P400 SV , Nissan R35 GT-R NISMO and Toyota GT86 to the game. With patch 1.5 on 31 March 2016 a major free update was released for the game, bringing a new fictional USA-themed location named Black Cat County, available in 3 layouts, two additional Nürburgring layouts, an additional Nürburgring Nordschleife endurance layout,

Aside from its support for interfaces , Go's type system is nominal : the type keyword can be used to define a new named type , which is distinct from other named types that have the same layout (in the case of a struct , the same members in

3430-610: The laserscanned Nürburgring Nordschleife in three different layouts that took over two years to make. The Red Pack DLC was released on 14 July 2016, introducing the Maserati brand and the laserscanned Red Bull Ring in GP and National layouts to the game, containing seven cars like the Ferrari 488 GT3 , Ferrari F138 , Ferrari SF15-T , Lamborghini LP 750-4 Aventador SV , the classic GP six-/twelve-cylinder Maserati 250F and 250F T2 monoposto and

There is no pointer arithmetic, except via the special unsafe.Pointer type in the standard library. For a pair of types K , V , the type map[ K ] V is the type mapping type- K keys to type- V values, though Go Programming Language specification does not give any performance guarantees or implementation requirements for map types. Hash tables are built into

3640-463: The racing simulation game market, and also developers’ different interpretations of the term ‘simulation’. [...] While lacking in vehicle and circuits right now, Assetto Corsa is one of the best simulations we’ve tried". However, in September 2016, The PlayStation Official Magazine said "as an actual racing game, it's rather sedate, feature-light and often unfairly difficult." Declaring 2015 as "Year of

3710-463: The required methods of interface type I is an object of type I as well. The definition of type T need not (and cannot) identify type I. For example, if Shape , Square and Circle are defined as then both a Square and a Circle are implicitly a Shape and can be assigned to a Shape -typed variable. In formal language, Go's interface system provides structural rather than nominal typing. Interfaces can embed other interfaces with

3780-421: The same order). Some conversions between types (e.g., between the various integer types) are pre-defined and adding a new type may define additional conversions, but conversions between named types must always be invoked explicitly. For example, the type keyword can be used to define a type for IPv4 addresses, based on 32-bit unsigned integers as follows: With this type definition, ipv4addr(x) interprets

3850-507: The software ReVive this version of the simulator also works with the HTC Vive —official support for the device was confirmed to release at a later date. On 22 March 2017 patch 1.13 added the beta implementation of Vive support through OpenVR . Assetto Corsa supports many different VR headsets utilizing Oculus runtime or Open VR. Including but not limited to Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, Oculus Quest 2, HTC Vive, Valve Index and many more. The game

3920-410: The standard library. All versions up through the current Go 1.23 release have maintained this promise. Go does not follow SemVer ; rather, each major Go release is supported until there are two newer major releases. Unlike most software, Go calls the second number in a version the major, i.e., in 1.x x is the major version. This is because Go plans to never reach 2.0, given that compatibility

In an official community poll on the official support forums, open from 2 to 9 April 2016, "VR support" reached first place with 25% of a total of 4801 votes. With the 1.6 update released on 18 May 2016 the development studio implemented pre-Alpha support for the Oculus Rift SDK 1.3, enabling support for the consumer version of the Oculus VR HMD. Thanks to a workaround using

The game includes renditions of international circuits (surveyed using both traditional and laser scanning technology) as well as many cars from global car brands, ranging from everyday road cars to racing prototypes and historic vehicles. As in case of most car simulators, the car performance is one of the most important factor, including the torque and power in function of

4130-679: The types of variables used. This contrasts with C's int i = 3 ; and const char * s = "Hello, world!" ; . Semicolons still terminate statements; but are implicit when the end of a line occurs. Methods may return multiple values, and returning a result , err pair is the conventional way a method indicates an error to its caller in Go. Go adds literal syntaxes for initializing struct parameters by name and for initializing maps and slices . As an alternative to C's three-statement for loop, Go's range expressions allow concise iteration over arrays, slices, strings, maps, and channels. fmt.Println("Hello World!")

4200-411: The website's simulation and wargame-focused The Flare Path section. In its 2015 review of the PC version, British automobile magazine Evo highlights Assetto Corsa' s physics, writing that "some aspects that other games barely touch on, such as tyre deformation and accurate friction models, are impressively accurate", and concludes: "What Assetto Corsa neatly demonstrates is the variety available in

4270-422: The world. On racedepartment.com, more than 9000 modifications have been published for the title until October 2018. Kunos Simulazioni has stated since game release that, due to engine limitations and due to the small size of the software developer, the game would not support features such as wet weather conditions, rain, night racing, or multi-class racing compatible AI.

A special WYSIWYG editor, bundled with the game, enables importing of 3D models (in FBX file format) and allows artists to assign properties and material shaders to objects, with an emphasis on ease of use. The editor exports a single game model file and does not allow opening of, or addition of objects to, an already exported file. The game also supports addition of third party widgets and plugins written in Python , C++ and C# , for uses such as telemetry or interface enhancements. On 10 April 2015 Kunos Simulazioni announced
