I am currently working on converting Tux Racer to lite c and i could use some help.

The main part is to transfrom scripts to lite c it is relatively easy but a lot work since i want the physics to work just like in the real game.
I am also planning to add a multiplayer feature to the game.
(And i dont know if i will use Anet or the original gs multiplayer functions [i think gs is better since i am planning to release it open source])

The original tux racer game is under the gnu general public license which means you are allowed to do pretty much everything with the code/resources from the game.

About the game:

At the moment hummel is making the terrain shader for me. And i could use some people who are willing to translate the code with me and someone who makes an animated tux model.

As i said before i plan to release the finished game to the community open source and i am also thinking of adding an online highscore system and a sql server list with online high scores... but first there is some code to convert :-P


Thanks

Okay the modelling job is filled.
But i still need someone for some simple animations of 5 (or less if you dont have too much time) models and could use some help with the conversion of the scripts.

No, the GPL means that you have to keep the code under the GPL and the GPL can't really be used with closed source engines since everything you link to has to be open source too. But probably nobody really cares anyway...

Doesnt this mean i can use the lesser license?

And the license also allows me to ask the tux racer team for license changes.

No, you can't change a GPL project to LGPL if you aren't the holder of the copyright.

Yes, better ask the Tux Racer team. Maybe they don't care. Who knows.

i dont think they will care. plus it's not translating/converting scripts it's mostly rewriting all code.
