Tux Racer is a classic open-source racing game developed by Sunspire Studios, and now runs on Android! This game has been ported to mobile platforms before, but all ports except this one are missing critical features like global scoreboards and settings menus, as well as lacking in stability and visuals. Draw distance especially has suffered.

To address this, we ported the game to SDL 2.0 and then rewrote all rendering code in OpenGL ES 2.0, which allows for much more sophisticated rendering techniques when compared to the legacy API all previous Tux Racer ports use, OpenGL ES 1.1. We have also created a settings menu and integrated the game with Scoreloop, allowing users to set high scores and compete with their friends.

Tux Racer is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, so you are encouraged to view the source code and even compile it yourself. Have fun and good luck on the slopes!
