About Me
Hello, I'm Torran, or WATorran on other sites if the former is already taken.
I specialize in the porting of past courses from various Mario Kart games.
I also dabble in a bit of original CT creating from time to time.

My Version Numbering
The version numbering of my tracks works a bit differently than what you're probably used to, especially if you follow this. In my world, they can only be within one of these two stages of development:
- Release Candidate - When I first release a track to the general public, I mark it as a release candidate. Version numbering in this stage works like so: A track is given the version numbering format RCX.Y, where X is an unsigned integer representing the major version and Y is an unsigned integer representing the minor version. Every time a track is updated, the major version increments only if the track's solidity changes (making it incompatible with previous versions online). Otherwise, the minor version increments instead. The minor version can be hidden if it's a 0. A track will continue to stay in this stage until development reaches a point that requires me to completely scrap the original source files of the track and start anew. When that happens, the track version will be promoted to the next stage.
- Final Version - Version numbering in this stage works differently than it did in the previous stage and it now follows the format vX.Y, where X is an unsigned integer representing the major version and Y is an unsigned integer representing the minor version. If the change log of the next version only features bug fixes or minor changes then the minor version is incremented. Otherwise, the major version is incremented. The minor version is never hidden.
PS: The initial numbering of the major version reflects what I think about the track at the beginning of each stage:
- 0 - Alpha.
- 1 - Beta.
This may not necessarily apply in later versions of the track.
