Horse racing is an equestrian sport that has been practiced over the centuries; the chariot races of Roman times are an early example, as is the contest of the steeds of the god Odin and the giant Hrungnir in Norse mythology. It is often inextricably associated with gambling.

And this is "Hard Race", a gambling game, where the viewer is called to choose his/her favorite horse and then look forward to see his/her horse as the winner.

Hard Race was developed to demonstrate how the combination of the best features from NCL and Lua languages can result in a simple code with lightweight processing.

Use the color keys to choose your favorite horse. After the race is over, press "Green" to play again or "Red" to quit. You can also use the directional keys.
