I managed to launch a penguin into flight, achieving a top speed of around 216 km/h. Try beating this time and provide a screen shot. It might help to run in windowed mode.  |

Go to this site and grab the course called big ass jump....it is a course just design for speed.
Also if you can I would recomend buying the commercial version of TuxRacer, it is even better than the GPL version. |

How do you get the commercial version to run with the glibc on portage? I don't know how

Actually with the graphical installer it all went fine  but..
| Code: |
Tux Racer 1.1

(c) 2001 Sunspire Studios, Inc.

%%% tuxracer warning: Failed to set video mode Couldn't find matching GLX visual
*** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
(Success)
|
Although GLX is working fine... I'll google a little bit.

So am I.... I think freeshell.org has been having some problems lately. 
It should be back up sooner or later, hopefully sooner. |

For extra fun in the commercial version look in the ~/.tuxracer-v1/options
This should be in there, change it from false to true.
| Code: |
# speed_mode
#
# [EXPERT] This is an "undocumented" gameplay feature.
# If true, then the friction coefficients in the game are
# reduced by 20%, resulting in a substantial increase in speed.
#
set speed_mode false

This year during high school swimming my friends and I played this games constantly. We mostly played this course.
My high score is here
We managed to get around 1:12.00 for time but it doesn't show up as the high score because we didn't get any herring when we went that fast. |

I couldn't beat your score, but I finally beat mine. 1:19.61 and 38 herrings. I also tried out that big ass jump map. That was fun. 
Edit: Right after posting this I beat that score too. Here's the new one. |
