SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

DISCLAIMER: this game is not yet available for N900, hopefully this post will attract attention to some of the devs that might consider porting it.

SuperTuxKart is a Free 3d kart racing game; we want to make the game fun more than we want to make it realistic. You can play with up to 4 friends on one PC, racing against each other or just try to beat the computer. (a network multiplayer feature is planned)
See the great lighthouse or drive through the sand and visit the pyramids. Race underground or in space, watching the stars passing by. Have some rest under the palms on the beach (watching the other karts overtaking you :) ). But don't eat the bananas! Watch for bowling balls, plungers, bubble gum and cakes thrown by opponents.
You can do a single race against other karts, compete in one of several Grand Prix, try to beat the high score in time trials on your own, play battle mode against your friends, and more!

Look's interesting tbh ile give it a shot on the pc and see what its like (=
Thank's..

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

This will look great on the N900, especially with the accelerometer as the controls. The N900 lacks a racing game using it.

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

hmm, so, anyone lets port this? :)

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

ive found a .deb file for arm ill upload it as soon as i get hold of my laptop

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

this would be ace - can't believe no-ones ported it yet

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

It's because STK is based on OpenGL. The N900 only supports OpenGL ES. Therefore it's not an easy port'n'go job, but it requires more knowlegde and time to port it. OpenGL has to be translated to OpenGL ES, which is not that easy but possible and made before, too.

I would definitely donate 10€ for a playable version, and another 10€ for a perfect running port (check out the newest tuxracer version to understand what I mean).

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

please some genius programmers out there! p;ease port this game to our starving N900. She is really hungry of good games and apps.

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

hi there i have found this .deb file but do not recommend anyone using it unless they r developers.

i got it from http://packages.debian.org/stable/games/

i downloaded the one under ARM so not sure whether its the correct one or not.

I would love to see this on the n900.

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

we just got tuxRacer, so why not??

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

I'd be glad to donate aswell!
I remember reading about the openGL ES mess before, it's highly annoying that this has to be such a stopper.

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

possibly an ignorant question but can the n900 be made to support opengl? whats the driver situation with nokia?

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

All I remember is that openGL comes in many flavours.
N900 and all other OMAP TI equipped handhelds out there support openGL 2.0 ES.

The trick is that GL 2.0 and GL 2.0 ES are quite different so porting becomes a quite complex process.

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

where's the one click downloading link of this game for Nokia N900.
Help because I am unable to judge which version to be downloaded(not familiar with these terms:()

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

The game has to be ported to open GL ES first, no playing yet.

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

It's not available to N900. Bec has just drawn our attention to it as a game that would be nice to see on N900. (It would have been nice if that was made clear in the OP!)

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

Updated the main thread,

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

I believe tuxracer (which by the way is great on the N900) uses a wrapper to handle the openGL/gles issue. The wrapper was posted in the thread re:tuxracer so perhaps that would be of some use in porting.

Re: SuperTuxKart - already ported on 11 platforms!
 

The current version of Super Tux Kart uses the irrlicht 3d graphics engine for all its rendering. Currently this supports DirectX, OpenGL and a custom software mode, but no OpenGLES 2.0. There is an pre-alpha OGLES2 driver in development for the iPhone which could form the basis of an N900 driver. I don't currently have the skills or free time to port though.

If we could get the irrlicht engine ported it would also make available a number of other games.

reminds me of crash bandicoot racing i had on n95-3 . would be nice to have the *ps2 type graphics* port of Raging Thunder from the iphone ported to n900 .
