SuperTuxKart 0.9.1 kart racing game for Linux Ubuntu. Download and install SuperTuxKart 0.9.1 racing game on Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.04 and Derivatives.
SuperTuxKart 0.9.1 has been released with many new features and improvements including the addition of a new tracks (Candela City), update (Antediluvian Abyss) and an improved underwater landscape with new tracks. Users can also install the Carnaval del cacao track and the Oliver’s Math Class track with a lot of improvements. Not only this, the newly released SuperTuxKart 0.9.1 now lets users change the direction of arrows on the tracks.
Below is the official release note issued by the SuperTuxKart team:
SuperTuxKart 0.9.1 Released
But the gift package contains more: Samuncle has updated Antediluvian Abyss, which was included as a sneak peak in the previous gift package. The underwater landscape has been improved and you can spot fishes swimming and underwater ruins.
While these tracks will most likely receive some more tweaks and minor improvements, they are otherwise finished. Both tracks from the gift package will of course be released as part of the core game in a future version of SuperTuxKart.
But we also did work on the core game and fixed and improved several bugs and issues. We have now the ability to change the direction of arrows (indicating in which direction to drive) when a track is driven in reverse, and we already utilize this in STK Enterprise. Some tweaking of the physics has taken place, hopefully resulting in more stable beahviour of karts, and we significantly improved audio handling. A very important and time consuming change was the introduction of scripting: this will allow track designers to include little scripts which are executed by STK to make tracks more dynamic. This allowed us to remove the tutorial implementation in C++, which is now done in AngelScript instead, and as a first example Cocoa Temple now includes barrels that can be destroyed. Hopefully this will result in more interesting and dynamic tracks in the future: you want monkeys to throw coconuts when the karts are coming closer, now you can do this. Finally, many challenges were tweaked to be more balanced.
As a quick look into the future: we are expecting to further improve the look of STK by replacing the current bitmap-based font system with a TTF renderer, which will hopefully make STK look better in various languages. More work on scripting is also planned, so if you are a 3d modeller and want to implement certain features in your track, let us know what functionality you need. And we have already started on the network implementation. And while this is nothing that will be finished in a month or two, we are working towards a release first with LAN-only support, followed by WAN support later.
