Vehicle is a very efficient mode of transportation using CC turtles. Due to limitations of technology, it currently only supports going forward and backwards using ingame W/S controls or by the convenient remote control linux kernel module, Vehiculator. A VM with Vehiculator set up will be provided before the jam ends (not sure how USB will work, maybe only going one direction is fine). The Vehiculator controls are very simple: to go forwards, plug in or unplug a usb device, to go backwards, ping patriik.one.

Now with VehiculatorUL! (userland alternative to Vehiculator): https://files.patriik.one/vehicle/vehiculatorul.tar.gz

Important note: Vehiculator needs to be pointed to the turtle vehiculator file (/vehiculator in turtle) in the OUT_FILE define. Known working on Linux 6.12. For VehiculatorUL, you have to specify this path as a CLI arg.

Less important note: I didn't have as much time as i was expecting to complete my original idea, so I hope this simple utility is useful to someone wanting to move a turtle forwards and backwards.

What on earth did I just watch?! I did not expect to see USB driver dark magic in a CC game jam, but here we are... cool stuff! I don't know what's going on, but it's fun that something so physically tangible is driving CC behaviour.
