PlanetPenguin Racer (TuxRacer)
With PlanetPenguin Racer, you guide Tux the penguin (the Linux mascot) down a snow-covered
hill as fast as you can. Planet Penguin Racer (ppracer command) is an open source (GPL) version
of TuxRacer, which was once freeware, but was later made into a commercial game by Sunspire
Studios.
To advance in PlanetPenguin Racer, you need to complete courses in the allotted time while
overcoming whatever obstacle is presented (gathering herring or negotiating flags). You move
up to try different courses and achieve higher-level cups. Figure 23-3 shows a screenshot of
PlanetPenguin Racer.
