Thanks to @abmyii for his port of this game to Ubuntu Touch.

Tux Racer lets you take on the role of Tux the Linux Penguin as he races down steep, snow-covered mountains. Enter cups and compete to win the title! Tux Racer includes a variety of options for gameplay, including the ability to race courses in fog, at night, and under high winds.

This is just port for SailfishOS. this port based on Ubuntu Touch's port

Not working under 4.3.0.12 on XA2+ here. Installed, rebooted, icon visible, game starts, menu shows, music plays, volume buttons work, menu entry highlighting appears on press but nothing more happens... Swipe close via portrait corner applies.

better add issue gitlab.com
is it same issue https://gitlab.com/sashikknox/tuxracer-touch/-/issues/1 ?

Not exactly, I'll file a separate Gitlab issue the next days...

Ok. Now installs on Xperia 10 II aarch64. Volume control works with h/w button. *No* visible desktop icon. Top and bottom of screen seem clipped a little, I need to compare to a different aspect ratio device to be sure.
Thanks again for (re) porting this favorite!
Another observatuon: 'Quit' doesn't fully close the app. Got to force it to close with corner swipe from 'portrait' mode corner even though it's landscape .
Edit: Desktop icon has now appeared, I haven't done anything but restart device, so perhaps that did the trick.
Edit 2: 'Quit' in the menu now works as expected.

Have you considered building it here against all kinds of versions of SDK, to avoid dependency/compatibility issues? If you've never heard of this chum thing, there's some background here.

Cant sign in (cant register) to OBS, no account there

To create an account you'd need to ping lbt on IRC or Sailfish OS forum like this. Self-registrations have been suspended for quite some time due to spam or something.

No point in uploading a "new" i486 tablet version. It doesn't work as I reported earlier and still segfaults.

sashikknox's picture

sorry, i dont try fix i486 version, mabe later, dont have time to do this ( dont have i486 device, need install in emulator )

bionade24's picture

Are you aware that the volume is unchagable?

sashikknox's picture

Yes, only from settings, because it use OpenAL as sound backend, and it work ugly with pulseaudio on sailfishos

ahappyhuman's picture

If you launch the game with the environment variable PULSE_PROP_media.role=x-maemo, the volume control works as it should.

sashikknox's picture

Wow! nice comment, can you send me link.to.documentation, where i can read about this ?

edp17's picture

I've tried that too but there is no error message. :(
It only says: Extreme Tux Racer 0.8.1
(C) 2010-2013 Extreme Tuxracer Team
shared memfd open() failed: Function not implemented

sashikknox's picture

Later, I'll try find way to understand what's wrong ...

I've tested on sfos 3.4. It installs and I can hear the music but the screen is black. I've tested on two devices with sfos 3.4 and on both the screen was black in the game.

sashikknox's picture

what devices? On inoi r7 and xa2+ it work

edp17's picture

I have tested on hammerhead (Nexus 5), Galaxy Note 4 (treltexx) and Xperia XA2. On the XA2, it works fine but on the first two, I only get a black screen. I hear the music and the game reacts when I tap on the screen but I don't see the menu options.

sashikknox's picture

Did you try run it from terminal, is it log some errors messages maybe?

edp17's picture

It works very good on sfos 3.4. Thanks for this game!
However, on a hammerhead (Nexus5) with sfos 3.3, it cannot be installed:
"File: ./armv7hl/libhybris-libGLESv1-0.0.5.36-1.30.1.jolla.armv7hl.rpm not found on medium 'http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/lge:/hammerhead/sailfish...'"
