Latest Updates: Mobile Support, Courses, Game Menu & Source Code

Hey everyone! 👋

It’s time for another update on TuxRacer.JS, my modern browser-based port of the classic Extreme Tux Racer! Over the past few weeks, I’ve been hard at work improving the game, adding new features, and making it even more accessible. Let’s dive into what’s new!

🚀 Major Updates

📱 Mobile Support

One of the biggest additions is support for mobile devices! Now, you can glide down snowy slopes and race as Tux directly on your smartphone or tablet. I’ve implemented a virtual touch joystick, making it easy to steer and control Tux while on the go. This means TuxRacer.JS is now fully playable on desktop and mobile! 🎉

🏁 More Race Courses

I’ve added many courses from the original game, bringing even more variety to your downhill racing experience. Whether you prefer smooth, winding tracks or challenging, obstacle-filled slopes, there’s now something for everyone. More courses mean more fun, and I hope you enjoy trying them all!

🎮 Game Menu

A game menu is now available! This menu provides an overview of all the available courses, making it much easier to navigate and select your next race.

🛠️ Open-Source Release

TuxRacer.JS is now officially open-source! The entire source code is available on GitHub, and I’d love to see contributions from the community. If you’re interested in helping improve the game, fixing bugs, or adding new features, check out the repository here: 🔗 GitHub Repository

🔮 What’s Next?

The next major improvements will focus on enhancing the game menu further. I plan to add: ✅ Highscore lists – Track your best times and compete for the fastest runs. ✅ Events – Introducing time-based or challenge-based events for more replayability.

Thanks for your support, and happy racing! 🏁🐧
