#32Is there any way to contribute levels to Tuxracer these days? I made a pair of really long ones (~10 min and ~20 min)

#33Oh, this brings back memories of interning in the IT lab at the local university. Has anyone done Frozen Bubble?

#34Given that the original project (at https://sourceforge.net/p/extremetuxracer/code/HEAD if i'm not mistaken) is C++, I wonder if it is possible to port the original in some form using WASM.
This is not to take away from the work that the OP has done - it is impressive, I'm just kind of thinking out loud here.

Looks like it would be possible with Emscripten but I'm not sure what OpenGL version its using so that's probably the biggest dependency there.

I tried doing this a few years ago, mapping OpenGL 1.x primitives into WebGL was indeed a pain. There were some translation layers but they were either incomplete or targetting GLES, not classical OoenGL.
I then attempted to actually rewrite ETR to use GLES (or modern OpenGL in general), but that also turned out to be quite an effort given how the original engine/game code is structured.

#38Hearing that song again after almost 20 years made my day
That's the first time I heard the song. My Linux audio drivers never worked

#39How was this done? Did the author rewrite the source in TS?
