Free racing software for linux

zeRace project is a simple racing game.

The purpose of this little car game is very simple : do the best time on each track.

It is inspired by the online game "Renault F1", as well as other free games like GeneRally and Trophy (I use some sounds from this game too).

Some tracks are those from the ICFP Programming Contest.

zeRace is coded in C and uses the SDL library.

Holoracer is intended to be the fastest racing game possible. HoloRacer is based on the game Trailblazer.

It is designed to be fast and furious with psychadelic graphics with incredible speed. Also includes network play.

Keys - Arrow keys for left and right.

Instructions:

Light squares speed you up, dark ones slow you down. Get the fastest time!

BumpRace project is a simple 1 or 2 player racing maze game.

BumpRace is a simple arcade game. Youve to get from the start to the finish line without crashing into deadly blocks. This game has really simple rules!

Wrong Way is car racing game for one or two players.

You can choose one of six cars in three different tracks. Wrong Way was written with Pygame.

The two players play on split screen. There are multiple cars and tracks ready for use.

XPilotNG is the mother of all 2D team based space games.
XPilot NG is a multiplayer spacewar game based on the mother of all computer games: XPilot - one of the highest rated games on the linux game tome.
Xpilot is a 2D game which can be played in many modes, each man for himself, team games with carry the flag mode, a racing mode, or all out warfare with complex items such as nukes, ecm, heat seeking and smart missiles, armor, tractor beams, afterburners, warping and many more. Items are collected as powerups. Mouse or keyboard can be used to control the ship. most popular currently is team based games which involved alot of quick thinking and strategy.
XPilot NG improves XPilot in several areas. The most important improvement is the support for a new polygon based map format. The new map format allows the use of arbitrary polygons to define walls and other map constructs. Old block style maps are also supported: the server converts them to polygons automatically to take advantage of the improved wall collision detection code. Legacy XPilot clients are also supported even on new polygon maps. The server can approximate wall polygons using blocks although the approximation is not always very accurate (for obvious reasons).
XPilot NG improves the XPilot code base by removing lots of old hacks and generally cleaning up things to make further improvements easier. This clean up has made it possible for the XPilot NG development team to create a new SDL/OpenGL based client that shares much of the code and functionality of the original X client. The SDL/OpenGL client is quite usable and is tested to work on Linux, Windows and MacOS X platforms. Also, last but not least, it looks quite pretty.
Enhancements:
- SDL client: Fixed some memory leaks, e.g. one for HUD messages.
- SDL client: Texture bug fixes, should fix the bug in 4.7.1 where the ship is painted as a white box on some machines.
- Server: Put back the old behaviour that dropped mines are immune to gravity. Explanation is that they are "anchored" to the map the same way as the walls are.
- Server: New option ballCollisionDetaches (default false): Does a ball get freed by a collision with a player?
- Replays: A fix so that big old recordings dont slow down to a crawl.
- Replays: Possibility to jump forward in a recording by pressing number keys: the number pressed tells how many minutes to forward.
- Several other improvements

TORCS is a 3D racing cars simulator using OpenGL.

The goal is to have programmed robots drivers racing against each others.
You can also drive yourself with either a wheel or keyboard or mouse.
TORCS is available on Linux and Windows.

This concept is directly inspired from RARS

There are 42 different cars, 30 tracks and more than 50 opponents to race against. You can steer with a joystick or steering wheel, if its supported by your platform. It is also possible to drive with the mouse or the keyboard, but its not easy.

Graphic features lighting, smoke, skidmarks and glowing brake disks. The simulation features a simple damage model, collisions, tire and wheel properties (springs, dampers, stiffness, ...), aerodynamics (ground effect, spoilers, ...) and much more.

The gameplay allows different types of races from the simple practice session up to the championship. Enjoy racing against your friends in the split screen mode with up to four human players.

Installation:

1. Download the source package torcs-1.2.3.tar.bz2.
2. Unpack the package with "tar xfvj torcs-1.2.3.tar.bz2".
3. Run the following commands:

$ cd torcs-1.2.3
$ ./configure # --prefix="target dir", --enable-debug or --disable-xrandr might be of interest
$ make
$ make install
$ make datainstall

Youll need those dependencies

Default installation directories:

* /usr/local/bin - TORCS command (directory should be in your PATH)
* /usr/local/lib/torcs - TORCS dynamic libs (directory MUST be in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you dont use the torcs shell)
* /usr/local/share/games/torcs - TORCS data files


4. Run the "torcs" command (default location is /usr/local/bin/torcs), you can use those command line options.
All the configuration data, race results and players options will be saved below the $HOME/.torcs directory.
