- josephcsible 3y agoGitHub still works fine in Firefox.
- danjoredd 3y agoIf you want the source code, just get it off the website https://www.supertux.org/download.html https://www.supertux.org/download.html
- jesprenj 3y agoWhich browser are you using?
- orblivion 3y agoAnd are you blocking 3rd party javascript etc? That's broken github for me before. There's githubassets.com and githubusercontent.com which you could allow; arguably they're not really third party.

- forthwall 3y agoI remember playing supertux as a kid when my grandparents bought me a disk of games for my birthday. It was just a bunch of FOSS games like these ripped to a disk and sold to unknowing grandparents. Fun to see that the source is out there on github
- danjoredd 3y agoclassic game
- haunter 3y agoShout out to Tux Racer too, still works perfectly (at least the Windows binaries) https://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/ https://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/
- kunrii8528 3y agoIt immediately crashes for me on Ubuntu 22.04, unfortunately. I wanted to play it.
- monocasa 3y agoIt's in the default package manager as extremetuxracer which is the fork that's still maintained.
- kcb 3y agoAlso: https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code
- kej 3y agoSuperTuxKart runs well on Android, and it will let you use the accelerometers to steer (so you just tilt the whole device like a steering wheel) which gives it a feeling a little like the Wii version of Mario Kart.
- freedomben 3y agoYep, even works with controllers! My kids will play this together using controllers on the Nvidia Shield, and it runs great. They have an absolute blast!
- colinsane 3y agoOpenStreetMaps x SuperTuxKart has got to be one of my favorite hidden niches: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SuperTuxKart https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SuperTuxKart

- orblivion 3y agoI haven't played for more than a minute, but reading the README here, it's interesting how there's a different experience with a FOSS game released but still in development, especially over so many years. Instead of "SuperTux 2" you have incremental changes. "The next level is finished, all the boss battles are improved". There's no canonical versions like there are with at least classic console games. I know modern games have patches and stuff but I don't think they rework the game this way but I could be wrong.
- JoshTriplett 3y ago> I know modern games have patches and stuff but I don't think they rework the game this way but I could be wrong. Sometimes game patches for modern games do rework game balance or playability, rather than just fixing bugs.
- entropicdrifter 3y agoYeah, Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 patch changes the game massively, for instance
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoConsidering how broken and beta quality the first release of Cyberpunk was, maybe the 2.0 version is the actual 1.0 version they intended to launch in the first place.
- a_vanderbilt 3y agoHonestly, yes. I played through the campaign on launch day and noticed a few bugs. The game felt pretty shallow. 2.0 brought to what I though it would be on launch day. Kinda wish I just waited a year or so for the 2.0 update before I played it.
- j5155 3y agoMinecraft (Java Edition) is probably the most notable game like this. It’s continued to be the same game with few engine changes/rewrites from the single dev basement project up until the present day dedicated sub company in Microsoft.
- tiagod 3y agoThis game got weirdly very popular among kids of a very specific generation, here in Portugal. The "Magalhães", an Intel Classmate variant that was available to school kids between 2008 and 2010 for a price between 50€ and 0€ (depending in social security status), came bundled with both Windows and a Portuguese Linux distro, which shipped with SuperTux by default.
- linkpuff 3y agoI've got a bunch of these Magalhães at home due to having my parents work at schools. If I recall correctly, SuperTux was exclusive to the first version of the laptop(there were two) and you can still turn heads nowadays if you take one out in public, which is pretty cool. Too bad that, despite their ruggedness, the Magalhães 1 had a very frail hard drive whose death meant that the BIOS would lock up completely when booting, not even allowing you to get to the setup menu, which for a kid meant that it became a paperweight.
- varias 3y agoAlso in an Andalusian-flavored Linux distro, Guadalinex.
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago>Portuguese Linux distro Be curious to know what makes a Portuguese linux distro. Isn't changing the language on any other mainstream distro enough? What does the Portuguese market desire extra on top to warant the extra effort?
- linkpuff 3y agoWhile you're not wrong, I believe that the effort was made with the intent of supporting everything in-house instead of relying on the community. The UI(KDE) of the Linux Caixa Mágica (Magic Box) was worked on to be user friendly and translated in portuguese as back then everything was still a bit rough around the edges, it was also pretty well documented for parents. I think my first linux was that one, and I learned a lot with it. Unfortunately I can't say the experience was universal, as the lack of teacher training(the education system evolves very slowly) and lack of resources that involved it lead to a complete flop in the classroom environments.
- alsetmusic 3y agoI was hoping this would be the belly-sliding game that I had on Mac OS X circa 2001. Someone made it with whatever new-to-MacOS tech to show off what could be done that wasn't possible on Mac OS 9 and I downloaded it from somewhere. Was a fun third-person 3d racing game of some sort. Tux raced down a hill covered in snow on his front and you could steer around trees and rocks and such. My memory is probably getting the details wrong. Edit: haunter had the answer. It was a port of TuxRacer.
- Bondi_Blue 3y agoThis binary runs on latest macOS: https://github.com/drodin/extremetuxracer/releases/download/0.8.106/extremetuxracer-0.8.106.dmg https://github.com/drodin/extremetuxracer/releases/download/... src: https://github.com/drodin/extremetuxracer https://github.com/drodin/extremetuxracer

- tux 3y agoI approve this message. =)

- Intralexical 3y agoHow is Grumble, anyway? Has he found his sense of snow yet?
- Mathnerd314 3y agohe's around on GitHub https://github.com/Grumbel https://github.com/Grumbel
- andix 3y agoWow, it's still alive. Around 20 years ago we modified the sprites of this game to create a new games featuring our classmates and friends. It was great fun.
- lewispollard 3y agoIt's a little odd that there's a wasm build that's seemingly only available for download from the official sources, rather than being playable on the web.
- histories 3y agoOne of my first linux distro was Knoppix, which had inside incredible games like Kobo Deluxe, Frozen Bubble, The Battle for Wesnoth, and of course SuperTux.
- seba_dos1 3y agoThose classics (plus Pingus, Numpty Physics and Mokomaze) were what I used to be playing on my first GNU/Linux smartphone, Neo Freerunner:)
- flykespice 3y agoThis brings me a long forgotten childhood memory, I remember going to my cousin's house and she having a linux machine (It had a linux sticker on it), we played the hell out of this game. Unironically this was also my very first encouter with Linux.
