You can try out the first Release Candidate for SuperTuxKart 1.2 over here. They're also still going through with their plan to have dual-licensing for SuperTuxKart under both the GPL and MPL which they gave reasons for here. There's no mentioned plan of a specific date on the full 1.2 release yet. Online play is still compatible with the previous 1.x versions. A fantastic and constantly improving kart racer, one that's great for children and adults alike thanks to the family-friendly theme. The SuperTuxKart development blog SeptemSuperTuxKart 1.3 release The SuperTuxKart team is happy to announce the release of version 1.3. Multiple new camera modes are also in, addon karts can be used online and the 'Pidgin' kart was upgraded with lights, new tires and a spoiler-oooh, fancy.
Gamepad input handling was also vastly improved with my Logitech F310. They said they plan to blog about this more work in a future update.Īfter testing it out, the new interface does look quite nice, which you can see in the two below shots. A highlight there is the addition of SVG icons, along with work to enable the SuperTuxKart engine to properly render SVG files to ensure the UI looks great at high resolutions.
SUPERTUXKART BLOG UPDATE
With the 1.2 update bringing in a "Modern" skin. The interface is also going through something of an overhaul to make it more modern. As a result it should get better with gamepad handling, hot-plugging and less gamepad input annoyances.
They're now using SDL2 for things like window creation and input handling. One of the big changes behind the scenes is the move to using more of SDL2, instead of Irrlicht which is missing some big features. It seems the current focus for SuperTuxKart is to improve the overall look and feel of it right now, giving it that all important professional feel.
