Tux Racer v.0.61 Tux Racer is a simple OpenGL-based racing game featuring Tux, the Linux Penguin. The object of the game is to slide down a snow- and ice-covered mountain as quickly as possible, avoiding the trees and rocks that will slow you down. File Name: tuxracer-win32-0.61.zip. Tux Racer is an Open source free game where we will control Tux, the famous Linux penguin. Now you will be able to slide down the slopes and win the different races, it's really funny. If we had to highlight one or two main features we would talk about its simplicity and entertainment power, because the aim is clear and tux is easy to control. ZorinOS, (is a Linux distribution that in my opinion takes on some questionable marketing and design layout for their OS releases.
Tux, of Math Command (TuxMath, for short) is an open sourcearcade-style video game for learning arithmetic, initially created for Linux.
History[edit]
The first alpha of the game was released by its initial developer, Bill Kendrick, in September 2001, days prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was decided that the imagery of exploding buildings was no longer suitable. Eventually the city imagery was replaced with igloos, to match the arctic theme of Tux, the Linux penguin, who stars in the game.
Since 1.7.0 the game also include a multiplayer mode and Factor-fraction activity called Factoroids.
Gameplay[edit]
The game-play mechanic is based loosely on that of the arcade game Missile Command, but with comets falling on cities, rather than missiles. Like Missile Command, players attempt to protect their cities, but rather than using a trackball-controlled targeting cross-hair, players solve math problems that label each comet, which causes a laser to destroy it.
Features[edit]
The game has multiple user support (useful for schools), LAN multiplayer mode, on-screen tutorials and a training mode - over 50 bundled lessons ranging from simple number typing up through all four basic arithmetic operations with negative numbers and 'missing number' questions (e.g. '3 x ? = 12'). Being an open source project, multi-platform support for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS and others is available. Localization to over thirty (human) languages was created by the games community. Included is also 'Factoroids', a clone of classic Atari video game 'Asteroids', modified to be an activity to train factorization.
Reception and impact[edit]
Distribution[edit]
TuxMath is included in numerous Linux distributions, including the Edubuntu flavor of Ubuntu. It is included as a game on the ASUS Eee PC.[1] It was also included on the Dish Network 721 PVR.[2]
Use in Schools[edit]
Numerous schools use TuxMath,[3] and school newsletters,[4] educational,[5] software websites[6][7][8] and publications[9][10] mention it, often together with other open source educational software.

Why send newbies to Emacs and then have to explain to them how to use it? Emacs rules, of course, but to edit the Tuxracer options file the GUI-bound user need only open TextEdit, type '.tuxracer' into Goto: in the File Open dialogue, and then pick out 'options' from the file list.
BTW, I'm using 1024x768 fullscreen for Tuxracer on this 867 MHz G4 and it works fine.
BTW2, folks who want to create their own courses can get into the .tuxRacer.app/Contents/Resources/Data/courses directory and take a look at the contents. Inside each course is a set of four files (ignore preview.rgb for now) that define it. course.tcl is a text file which is fairly self-explanatory, and the rgb files are bitmaps you can edit in something like MacGimp. The bitmaps overlap to create the territory like this:
elev.rgb -- the ups and downs of the terrain (white high)
terrain.rgb -- the nature of the terrain at any point (black ice, grey rock, white snow)
trees.rgb -- defines the location of different kinds of trees with coloured dots. The individual tree types and their colour codes are defined in ./tuxRacer.app/Contents/Resources/Data/courses/common/courseinit.tcl, and the adventurous can extrapolate from this to create their own new tree (and other object) types.
Initially you might just want to go into the ./contrib directory, copy an entire course, rename it and then start messing with the bitmaps. To get a faster game increase tux_angle in the course.tcl file of any particular course.

For anyone about to mess with the tuxRacer config files, you don't have to use emacs if you don't want to. However, if you're ever going to use Linux, BSD, or any other *nix based system, you'll need to know how to use it. It's not any more difficult than TextEdit.

Yeah, it's not any more difficult than TextEdit EXCEPT for the minor detail of having to memorize lots of key bindings. :)
