The maze scrolls depending on which direction the car is pointing, and this can be done by having a lookup table in the form of a dictionary list (directionMap) where we define x and y increments for each angle the car can travel. We can use the in-built rotation of the Actor object by setting the angle property of the car. Our player’s car will be drawn in the centre of this area at the co-ordinates 300,300. If we use 200 pixels for the side panel, that leaves us with a 600×600 play area. To set up our Rally-X homage in Pygame Zero, we can stick with the default screen size of 800×600. In our example, the mini-map is five times smaller than the main map, so it’s easy to work out the calculation to translate large map co‑ordinates to mini-map co-ordinates. The main view of the maze only shows a section of the whole map, and scrolls as the car moves, whereas the mini-map shows the whole size of the map but without any of the maze walls – just dots where the car and flags are (and in the original, the enemy cars).
As the car moves around the maze, its position can be seen relative to the flags on the right of the screen. The aspect of Rally-X that we’ll cover here is the mini-map. The aim of Rally-X is to race a car around a maze, avoiding enemy cars while collecting yellow flags – all before your fuel runs out. This was the first year that developer Namco had exported its games outside Japan thanks to the deal it struck with Midway, an American game distributor. The original Rally-X arcade game blasted onto the market in 1980, at the same time as Pac‑Man and Defender. Your Mom.In Namco’s original arcade game, the red cars chased the player relentlessly around each level. Some other things compared to the size of Mad Max. Using advanced potato science to multiply the length by the width gives us a grand total wasteland dimmension of 76.9832 km2. It's safe to say it would take about 8 minutes driving east to west, so applying my earlier findings to the new equation using guestimates would give me 8.26 km. However, that was just the length, now we must find the width. 9 minutes later, looking at the waypoint I had set, I could see I had driven a total distance of 9.32 km. I started the clock and took off down the road, engine roaring. I used this truck because it most closely matches the weight, power, and driving capabillites of your average Magnum Opus. (A fast, all-terrain, lightly armored military truck with a large motor and off road suspension) I set a destination 25 km away that would take me through a variation or roads as close as I could find to match the roads of Mad Max, and got behind the wheel of a CHEPACHET PVD. I decided to boot up Just Cause 2 and drive myself to the bottom of the map.
(assuming they did not run out of guzzoline, were attacked, etc.)

Looking back at the footage of the livestream, both at the cars driven and the in game map, I'm going to estimate that it would take a player 9 minutes at the most to drive the map north to south, if the player was going full speed with a car of average weight, and a v-6 engine.
Because the devs are yet to tell us just how large the wasteland is, I have taken it upon myself to once and for all find out the truth.
