Rendered in real time, you need to get good effects with a limitedĪmount of triangles). Users need to be fairly experienced, especially since game design hasĭifferent requirements compared to animation or video (since they need to be ![]() ![]() Which is a quite sophisticated free software 3D modeling tool, but Lines of C++ code (plus the bullet physics engine, irrlicht graphicsĮngine, and enet for networking). In spite of SuperTuxKart being a game that can be played by kids,ĭevelopment for it is not that easy: the code base is around 150,000 We are also in dire need of artists,Įspecially people experienced with 3D modeling. People can contribute by coding: we have a list of bugs and We are actually only a rather small team, so we welcome any How can users (technical or otherwise) help contribute to SuperTuxKart? We would be really interested in that), so we had to appeal Google andĪpple to take down this application, which they finally did. Repeated requests we were not able to get access to the sources (and STK to android and iOS, but didn't release the source (nor kept anyĪttribution in place which most of our art work requires). We actually had to enforce the GPL recently: someone ported Interest in programming or game programming. Learn from - hopefully it will motivate some students to show more I like that all our source code is available for anyone to use and Why did you choose the GNU GPL version 3 as SuperTuxKart's license? My favorite character is actually Nolok - not so much because of hisįancy looking (but otherwise normal) power-ups, I just like the kartĭesign most. Who is your favorite character to play with?

That this avoids the frustration that could happen if a beginner would Tracks available later, when the player has more experience. The story mode allows us to make the more difficult challenges and Locking the tracks and guiding players through The story mode is actually designed with 3D animations and some real Him that Gnu will only be released after the player beats him in While playing the story mode, players can actually unlock all the Can you tell us a little about story mode and the other modes of playing SuperTuxKart? ![]() Into a polished product in the end, so we spent quite a bit of effort, for example, on creating animations for our story mode. Realistic car behavior, but on fun racing. University of Nevada - Reno, a group of students modified the gameĬompared with other free software racing games, we focus not so much on I hope that this makes SuperTuxKart an ideal learningĪlready SuperTuxKart has been used in various university projects,įor teaching students about internationalization and With the source of all our assets, such as blender files, uncompressed What features do you think really sets SuperTuxKart apart from similar software?įirst of all the fact that it is free software and that all of our art On this addon server we now have served over Their tracks and karts, and everybody can easily download and use We have a great community, mostly on our IRC channelĬontributions that we implemented a dedicated We have added a physics engine, replaced the graphics engine with a more modern one, added a story mode, and much more! How is your user community? Soon I had very many ideas on how this could perhaps become a really great free software game, and so I was hooked. I picked up that fork, with the intention of doing some performance improvements on it (which I am professionally interested in). Originally the game was known as TuxKart, but after disagreementsīetween developers, some temporary and unfinished work was left as a fork Screenshots of some upcoming graphical improvements to SuperTuxKart.
