Parkour Benchmark — Kimi 3
Shared · Updated
The project is fresh with just the Kenney Platformer Kit. Let me explore the available model formats and key assets more.
This is a substantial build. Let me set up a task list and inspect the key asset dimensions first.
- ●Inspect GLB asset dimensions (blocks, characters, flags)
- ○Set up project settings: main scene, input map, window
- ○Create player controller + third-person camera
- ○Create bot AI (waypoint-following racer)
- ○Build race data + world builder (hub + 3 courses)
- ○Race manager: start gates, timer, results, best times
- ○HUD: timer, position, countdown, results panel
- ○Playtest, verify all 3 races, fix issues
- ○Polish: decorations, labels, arrows, fences
Blocks are 1×1×1 m units with origin at bottom-center, characters ~0.9 m tall. Let me measure the remaining pieces I plan to use.

Restart works perfectly — "GO!" with the timer at 00:00.13, bots back at the line, and all text now has clean black outlines. Every part of the game is verified. Wrapping up:
ParkourBenchmark is done! A 3D parkour world built entirely from the Kenney Platformer Kit, where you race 3 bots against the clock across 3 courses. Press F5 to play.
The World
A floating 32×32m grass hub (hedges, trees, flowers) floating over a cloud sea, with three flagged race gates on its edges, each with a sign, direction arrows, and a floating label showing the race name, difficulty, and your saved best time.
The 3 Races
- Race 1 — Meadow Dash (EASY, grass, ~98m): wide runway, small gaps, stairs, a gentle slalom, and a turn east before the finish hill.
- Race 2 — Glacier Climb (MEDIUM, snow, ~88m): climbs to y=6, a 1-wide snow bridge, slalom, a 3m plunge, a narrow beam crossing.
- Race 3 — Skyline Gauntlet (HARD, grass, ~111m): precision 1×1 landings, wide slaloms, 1-wide stairs, narrow beams, and a 3m gap.
How Racing Works
- Walk into any gate → 3-2-1-GO countdown → you and 3 bots (Bolt, Dash, Ziggy — with floating name tags) race the same course.
- Bots use real physics + waypoint AI (they jump gaps via an edge-detection raycast, climb stairs, and recover from falls) — all three were verified to finish every course.
- Live HUD: timer, your position (1st–4th), and a standings panel with progress %.
- Cross the finish → results panel ranking everyone by time (unfinished bots get projected "~" times), NEW BEST detection with best times saved to disk and shown on gate labels.
- ENTER returns to the hub, R instantly restarts the race; falling respawns you at the start line while the clock keeps running.
Controls
WASD move · mouse orbit camera · SPACE jump (with coyote time + jump buffering) · R restart race · ENTER back to hub · ESC release mouse.
One note: the world is built at runtime from data-driven course definitions (scripts/races.gd), so the editor's 3D view looks empty until you run the game — tweaking a course is just editing its builder chain, e.g. b.gap(1).flat(2).step_up(3).turn(1).
Everything is verified and complete. One observation from the file listing: there are orphan .uid files (level_builder.gd.uid, race_manager.gd.uid, spinner.gd.uid, etc.) with no matching scripts — leftovers from a previous attempt in this directory. They're harmless (Godot ignores them), so I left them untouched; say the word if you'd like them cleaned out.
Final state of the game
ParkourBenchmark — a 3D parkour time-trial game vs bots, built 100% from the Kenney Platformer Kit (~1,450 lines across 8 scripts + 4 scenes):
| Piece | What it does |
|---|---|
main.tscn | World root: sky/fog environment, sun with shadows, cloud sea, player, HUD |
world.gd | Builds hub + courses at runtime, runs the race state machine, saves best times |
course_builder.gd | Turtle-style track builder (flat/gap/step_up/slalom/turn/bridge/drop) that emits geometry, bot waypoints + jump flags, and arrow signs |
races.gd | The 3 course definitions (Meadow Dash 98m, Glacier Climb 88m, Skyline Gauntlet 111m) |
player.gd | Third-person controller — coyote time, jump buffer, orbit camera |
bot.gd | Waypoint racer AI — real physics, edge-raycast gap jumps, ledge jumps, stuck/fall failsafes |
hud.gd | Timer, live standings, countdown, results panel, hints — all outlined for readability |
Verified via live playtests (all sessions error-free):
- ✅ Walk into any of the 3 gates → countdown → race starts
- ✅ All 3 bots finish all 3 courses (FIN confirmed on each)
- ✅ Finish → ranked results with projected bot times + NEW BEST, saved to
user://parkour_best.cfgand shown on gate labels - ✅ ENTER returns to hub, R restarts mid-race (verified resetting timer + countdown)
- ✅ Falls respawn you at the start line mid-race with the clock running
- ✅ Player physics is fair for every obstacle (7m jump range vs ≤3m gaps, 2m jump height vs 1m steps)
To tweak or add a race, just edit scripts/races.gd — e.g. b.gap(1).flat(2, 2.0).slalom(4, 1.5, 3.0).turn(-1) — and adjust bot_speeds to change the difficulty.
