(abbreviated STK) is a fun kart racing game, focusing on <BR/>fun and
not on realistic physics. You can find more details
on<BR/><A HREF="http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/">http://supertuxkart.sf.net</A><BR/>It
was originally based on Steve Baker's TuxKart
(<A HREF="http://tuxkart.sourceforge.net/">http://tuxkart.sourceforge.net</A>),<BR/>but
by now has developed a life on its own. It was<BR/>picked up by the
Linux Game Tome (<A HREF="http://www.happypenguin.org/">http://www.happypenguin.org</A>)<BR/>Game
of the Month project and got a big overhaul during this time,<BR/>but
was left in an unfinished state.<BR/><BR/>A new set of maintainers,
namely hiker &amp; coz, took over in 2006, <BR/>and since then four
official versions (0.2, 0.3, 0.4, &amp; 0.5) have been
released.<BR/><BR/><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics15" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics16" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics17" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics18" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics19" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics20" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics21" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics22" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics23" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics24" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics25" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics26" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics27" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics28" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><BR/><BR/><FONT SIZE=4><B>Requirements</B></FONT><BR/><BR/><B>Hardware</B><BR/>*
You need a 3D graphics card that can support OpenGL or Mesa.<BR/>* You
should have a CPU that's running at 450MHz or better.<BR/>* You'll
need at least 32Mb RAM.<BR/>* A sound card would be nice - but it's
not essential.<BR/>* Ideally, you want a joystick - preferably one
with at least 6<BR/>&nbsp; buttons - you can also drive from the
keyboard or the mouse,<BR/>&nbsp; thought currently it is hard to
drive with the mouse.<BR/><BR/><B>Software</B><BR/>Right now,
SuperTuxKart runs under Linux, Windows, and MacOSX.<BR/>While we are
not aware of any ports to BSD, BeOS, etc., we try to keep the
source portable, so you should be able to compile for these platforms
without a problem.<BR/><BR/>You need the following programs
installed:<BR/><BR/>OpenGL (or Mesa 3.0 or later)<BR/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<A HREF="http://www.opengl.org/">http://www.opengl.org</A>,&nbsp;
<A HREF="http://www.mesa3d.org/">http://www.mesa3d.org</A><BR/><BR/>PLIB

<P>You should also be able to get pre-built binaries for various systems, including MacOS X and Windows. Many Linux distributions will have STK in their repositories, or .debs/.rpms will be available.<BR/><BR/><BR/><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics29" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics30" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics31" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics32" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics33" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics34" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics35" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics36" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics37" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics38" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics39" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics40" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics41" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics42" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><BR/><BR/><FONT SIZE=4><B>Controlling

display (left) : here you will see the places of<BR/>&nbsp; everyone
participating in the race; after the leader goes<BR/>&nbsp; though the
goal, a counter will appear next to their images<BR/>&nbsp; showing
how much time behind they are. The places are<BR/>&nbsp; initially
colored in white, which will become a bit more red<BR/>&nbsp; with
every lap finished; after the race is finished the<BR/>&nbsp; place
appear in green.<BR/><BR/>&nbsp; Track map (bottom left corner) : this
will show the position<BR/>&nbsp; of everyone, in relation to the
track; humans are drawn with<BR/>&nbsp; bigger dots.<BR/><BR/>&nbsp; Lap
(right of the track map) : the left number shows how many<BR/>&nbsp;
laps you have completed, the right number shows how many laps<BR/>&nbsp;
you have to complete to finish the race.<BR/><BR/>&nbsp; Item (top) :
the number of items and what is that you are<BR/>&nbsp; holding is
displayed here.<BR/><BR/>&nbsp; Power bar (right) : it displays how
much power you have by<BR/>&nbsp; grabbing energizers (coins).<BR/><BR/>&nbsp;
Speed bar (bottom right) : shows how fast you are moving.<BR/><BR/>&nbsp;
Steering wheel: when you steer, the front wheels do not rotate<BR/>&nbsp;
to their limit instantly; instead, they take less than a<BR/>&nbsp;
second to achieve full rotation. The current rotation is<BR/>&nbsp;
displayed here.<BR/>&nbsp; <BR/>&nbsp; Current place: here it is shown

playing with your friends, the screen will be divided in<BR/>cuadrants.
Even thought there are default controls for all<BR/>players, you

are currently many 'good things' you can get (triggered by<BR/>touching
an item box) and a few 'bad things'.<BR/><BR/>When you pick up one of
the good things, you will see it on your<BR/>item box, and activate it
by using an item (see above for<BR/>default key bindings).<BR/><BR/>Bad
things happen immediately - and last for a few seconds<BR/>before
'going away' by themselves.<BR/><BR/>Notice that (unlike some kart
games), the computer controlled<BR/>players also collect and use
power-ups in the same way you do.<BR/><BR/>Energizers gradually fill up
the energy level - as you collect<BR/>more, you'll find that an item
cube will subsequently give you<BR/>two, three, four or five power-ups
at one time!<BR/><BR/><B>Good Things</B></P>

kart on a rope for an even shorter<BR/>&nbsp;amount of time than the
parachute... but the drag effect is much<BR/>&nbsp;stronger; your kart
hardly moves at all. <BR/>&nbsp;<BR/>&nbsp;Bomb: after 30 seconds the
bomb will explode, but if another kart<BR/>&nbsp;touches you, the bomb
will be transfered to it and the remaining<BR/>&nbsp;time will be
reduced by 5 seconds. If you hit a banana while<BR/>&nbsp;having a
bomb attach, it will explode immediately! Also, the bomb<BR/>&nbsp;can't
be transfered to the inmediate previous bomb
holder.<BR/><BR/><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics106" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics107" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics108" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics109" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics110" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics111" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics112" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics113" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics114" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics115" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics116" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics117" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics118" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><IMG SRC="chess.png" NAME="graphics119" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=33 BORDER=0><BR/><BR/><FONT SIZE=4><B>Game
mechanics and tips</B></FONT><BR/><BR/>As a racer in SuperTuxKart,&nbsp;your
goal is to reach the<BR/>finish line before your opponents, but as a
bonus you might want<BR/>to show your awesome driving skills.<BR/><BR/>The
item cubes contain helpful objects; which item you get is<BR/>matter
of luck. If you have an item already, you will get another<BR/>item of
the same type if by luck the random selection chooses<BR/>the same
item type as the one you already have.<BR/><BR/>The energizers will
increase the number of items you grab from a<BR/>single item cube. You
may only have up to 5 items, except the<BR/>anvil and the parachute,
since anvils are so heavy and you have<BR/>so many parachutes, there
is not much room and you can only<BR/>carry one!<BR/><BR/>On the track
there could be zippers, which will give you a boost<BR/>when you go
over them. Avoid water and lava, since you can't<BR/>drive on them and
you will have to be rescued just before<BR/>you touch them!<BR/><BR/>There
are also nasty things left on the track which will put an<BR/>anvil or
a parachute on your kart.<BR/><BR/>If you don't have items that you
wish to use, try not to be in<BR/>a collision course towards other
karts, since they might have<BR/>items of their own to throw at you!
also, if they crash you<BR/>could go down with them.<BR/><BR/>If you are
running rather fast, you can pop a wheelie, which gives<BR/>you an
additional speed boost, but you can't steer your kart <BR/>while doing
a wheelie (since your front wheels are not touching<BR/>the track), so
be careful.<BR/><BR/>When all human controlled karts finish the race,
the game will wait<BR/>some seconds for the AI to finish the race. If
the AI doesn't, it<BR/>will estimate the arrival time based on the
kart's average speed.<BR/><BR/>If you are tired of playing the same
way, complete some challenges<BR/>and you will unlock new features!</P>
