Under the hood : examples of contributions

These examples are sorted in the order I developed them, which sort of goes from the easiest to the hardest.

  • Developed with source release v0.4 :
  1. Leave Tux's track marks over several failed race trials
  2. Display objectives in HUD
  3. Use outline fonts generated directly from ttf with FTGL
  4. Fix the energy gauge display for jumps

News

Version 0.4 Released

ETRacer version 0.4 has been released. Source and builds are available here.

First Version Released

Extreme Tux Racer version 0.35 is out. This release is mainly to break in the new name, and the new team, and to get into the repositories for various distros. We will be working hard over the next few months to produce something truly improved from the Tux Racer/Planet Penguin Racer legacy.
