SuperTuxKart is a free kart racing game. It focuses on fun and not on realistic kart physics. Instructions can be found on the in-game help page.

The SuperTuxKart homepage can be found at https://supertuxkart.net/. There is also our FAQ and information on how get in touch with the community.

The latest release binaries can be found here, and those of preview releases here.

Hardware Requirements

Any hardware that supports OpenGL >= 3.3 or OpenGL ES >= 3.0 should be able to run SuperTuxKart. For Android, Android 5.0 or greater is required.

This includes dedicated GPUs from Nvidia or AMD released after 2010, integrated GPUs released after 2012 and Android phones released after 2014.

The game will run on some very weak devices, but a better GPU allows to run smoothly using higher quality graphics and a higher resolution, and a better CPU helps to keep a smooth playing experience in online multiplayer.

Please check the "What are the hardware requirements?" question in our FAQ for more information.

Contributing code

3D coordinates

A reminder for those who are looking at the code and 3D models:

SuperTuxKart: X right, Y up, Z forwards

Blender: X right, Y forwards, Z up

The export utilities perform the needed transformation, so in Blender you just work with the XY plane as ground, and things will appear fine in STK (using XZ as ground in the code, obviously).
