Developer-crafted benchmark courses that act as progress ladders.

Built-in trial maps divided into themes (like Summer, Winter, and Desert) that introduce escalating difficulties—from simple sprints to complex stunt tracks.

The driving model in PolyTrack looks simple but features high mechanical depth. Momentum conservation is the fundamental principle required to scale the online leaderboards. Air Braking

The game's controls are designed to be simple to learn but hard to master, putting the focus entirely on skill and precision.

Press 'R' or Enter to instantly restart the track—a crucial feature for perfecting your run.

Before a single granule is laid, installers must perform a calcium chloride test on the concrete or asphalt base. Vapor emission rates must be below 3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft per 24 hours. If higher, a specific vapor barrier primer (sold separately by Kodub) is rolled on.

The game's evolution has been marked by the release of major beta updates. One of the most significant was the . This update was a game-changer, adding a wealth of new features and system overhauls. It included three brand-new tracks, a complete overhaul of the physics engine, and the introduction of player profiles and built-in leaderboards.

Beyond driving, PolyTrack operates as an expansive creative sandbox. The built-in level editor gives players access to the exact same design tools used by Kodub to create the official tracks.

is a fast-paced, low-poly browser racing game where every millisecond counts. Heavily inspired by the legendary TrackMania franchise, Kodub PolyTrack focuses strictly on high-speed time trials, physics-defying track designs, and precise driving mechanics. Instead of relying on realistic graphics, the game strips visual elements down to clean, minimalistic 3D blocks. This design ensures ultra-smooth performance on almost any device while focusing entirely on driver skill.

The Lexington Equestrian Center in Kentucky, USA, replaced its traditional sand-rubber arena footing with Kodub Polytrack in January 2023. After 18 months of use, the facility reported:

To maximize the lifespan of a Kodub Polytrack surface, follow these guidelines:

However, critics note that the polymer base is still petroleum-derived. The manufacturer is currently piloting a bio-polyol version using castor oil and soybean derivatives, aiming for a fully biobased Kodub Polytrack by 2027.

A world of geom

ggplot2 builds charts through layers using geom_ functions. Here is a list of the different available geoms. Click one to see an example using it.

geom_bar geom_bin geom_boxplot geom_density geom_error geom_hex geom_hist geom_hline geom_jitter geom_label geom_line geom_point geom_polygon geom_rect geom_ribbon geom_rug geom_segment geom_smooth geom_text geom_tile geom_violin geom_vline
Annotation with ggplot2

Annotation is a key step in data visualization. It allows to highlight the main message of the chart, turning a messy figure in an insightful medium. ggplot2 offers many function for this purpose, allowing to add all sorts of text and shapes.





Marginal plot

Marginal plots are not natively supported by ggplot2, but their realisation is straightforward thanks to the ggExtra library as illustrated in graph #277.





ggplot2 chart appearance

The theme() function of ggplot2 allows to customize the chart appearance. It controls 3 main types of components:

Re-ordering with ggplot2


When working with categorical variables (= factors), a common struggle is to manage the order of entities on the plot.

Post #267 is dedicated to reordering. It describes 3 different way to arrange groups in a ggplot2 chart:

Here’s the official ggplot2 cheatsheet created by Posit. It covers all the key concepts of the library.

I've also compiled it with the most useful R and data visualization cheatsheets into a single PDF you can download:

ggplot2 title

The ggtitle() function allows to add a title to the chart. The following post will guide you through its usage, showing how to control title main features: position, font, color, text and more.





Use custom fonts with ggplot2

If you don't want your plot to look like any others, you'll definitely be interested in using custom fonts for your title and labels! This is totally possible thanks to 2 main packages: ragg and showtext. The blog-post below should help you using any font in minutes.





Small multiples: facet_wrap() and facet_grid()

Small multiples is a very powerful dataviz technique. It split the chart window in many small similar charts: each represents a specific group of a categorical variable. The following post describes the main use cases using facet_wrap() and facet_grid() and should get you started quickly.

A set of pre-built themes

It is possible to customize any part of a ggplot2 chart thanks to the theme() function. Fortunately, heaps of pre-built themes are available, allowing to get a good style with one more line of code only. Here is a glimpse of the available themes. See code
