Hey everyone! 🎉
I’m excited to share a new project I’ve been working on: a browser port of Extreme Tux Racer! 🐧💨 Now you can race down icy slopes at high speed directly in your web browser—no downloads required!
This isn’t just a simple port; the original code has been almost completely rewritten in TypeScript and GLSL to make it run smoothly in modern browsers. Here’s what’s been done so far:
✅ Full rewrite in TypeScript & GLSL for web compatibility
✅ Optimized assets & levels to work seamlessly in the browser
✅ Smooth performance on most devices
This is just the beginning! I’m actively working on:
🔹 Touch controls for mobile users
🔹 More levels to keep the challenge going
🔹 A proper game menu for easier navigation
I’ll be releasing the source code on GitHub soon, so stay tuned if you’re interested in how everything works under the hood.
👉 Play it now and let me know what you think! Feedback and suggestions are always welcome. 🚀
Cheers,
Jan
