🚗 Driving Sim WPF

Welcome to Driving Sim WPF!
This is a fun car simulation developed using WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). The simulation allows you to interact with a car dashboard, controlling the engine, acceleration, and brakes, while the background dynamically adjusts to reflect the car's speed.

---

🎮 Game Description

The goal of the simulation is to control a car, turning the engine on or off, accelerating, and braking. As you speed up, the background changes to simulate motion, and a pine air freshener image transforms into an animated GIF for extra fun! Enjoy the interactive, audiovisual experience!

🛠️ Main Methods

Here are the key methods of the simulation:

1. Initialization

• Car(): Initializes the car object with the car background and air freshener images. Sets up the timers for background and animation changes.
• StartEngine(): Starts the engine, plays the engine startup sound, and begins the idle sound loop.
• StopEngine(): Stops the engine, plays the engine off sound, and resets the speed.

2. Car Controls

• Accelerate(): Increases the speed of the car, adjusts the background speed, and updates the air freshener visibility.
• Brake(): Slows down the car, decreases the speed, and updates the background speed.

3. Visual Effects

• ImageChangeTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e): Alternates the background images to simulate car movement.
• UpdateAmbientador(): Changes the visibility of the air freshener image depending on the speed of the car.
• StartGifAnimation(): Plays the animated GIF of the air freshener when the car reaches a certain speed.

🎮 How to Play

1. Start the engine: Click the "Motor On" button to start the engine with sound effects.
2. Accelerate: Press the "Accelerate" button to speed up the car and see the background change.
3. Brake: Press the "Brake" button to slow down the car.
4. Turn off the engine: Click the "Motor Off" button to stop the engine and reset the simulation.

⚙️ System Requirements

• OS: Windows 7 or higher.
• .NET Framework: Version 4.7.2 or higher.
• Resources: Ensure resource files (images and sounds) are in the assets folder.

📂 Project Structure

• MainWindow.xaml: Contains the user interface elements for the car simulation, such as buttons and images.
• MainWindow.xaml.cs: Contains the logic for interacting with the UI, such as handling button clicks to start/stop the engine, accelerate, and brake.
• Car.cs: Contains the car control logic, including methods for starting/stopping the engine, accelerating, braking, and updating the visual effects.
• assets/: Folder containing images and sounds used in the simulation.
