... What is it ...

 SuperTuxKart is a 3D open-source arcade racer with a variety of characters,
tracks, and modes to play. 
 
 To have good perfomance and no visuall glitches, you should have as minimum:
 
 ogles2.library : >= 3.1
 Warp3DNova.library : >= 1.85
 RadeonHD : >= 3.7 or RadeonRX : >= 2.4 with Prefs:PowerManagment set to HIGH  
 
 This port based on the latest, 0.8.1 sources.

... How to run and how to play ...

 Just unpack and double-click on an icon. The learn the control choice
"tutorial" in the menu (right bottom icon of a book)
 
 
... Performance note ...

 If you on Radeon RX driver, BE SURE you set Prefs: PowerManagment to HIGH, save
and reboot. That need to be done because at the moment Radeon RX can't raise
resources
 as expected in all the cases (probably due to lacking DMA in the drivers) and
if you have auto-power management or anything different than HIGH your FPS will
bad.
  
 On x5000/020 with RadeonHD and latest ogles2/warp3dnova, you can expect up to
60FPS on some levels, while in other ones you may drop to just 15-20. Most of
the time you will be around 30-40.

 A game needs about 350 MB of RAM, 350 MB of GPU memory, 40 MB of the system's
VRAM memory, and 350 MB of HDD space.

... ChangeLog ...

 v1.2 (15.04.2021)

  -- much faster startup: 7 seconds now instead of 17
  -- working FBO usage. So now you have a much faster "car choice" screen, as
well as an FPS increase in the game itself. Because of which FBO enabled now by
default.
  -- small speed-ups everywhere: for example, when you choose a level before,
there was a little "pause" in sound for 1-2 seconds, now there is almost none.
  -- all original shaders coming with game working. (you can see how
post-processing (motion blur) shaders working for example in the "Subsea" level
when we "accelerates").
  -- fixed loading of addons which were broken since hardcoded
http://stkaddons.net/ expired in favor of new  https://online.supertuxkart.net
  -- added data/cert.pem and necessary code to handle SSL connections
  -- display FPS is ON by default
  -- recompiled with GCC 10.3.0

 v1.1 (30.12.2019)

  -- added joystick support

 v1.0 (first amigaos4 release):

  -- gl4es is used for OpenGL (so ogles2/warp3dnova)
  -- build based on amigaos4 port of Irrlicht engine:
https://github.com/kas1e/Irrlicht
  -- amigaos4 paths (was a mess!), stack cookie
  -- built with GCC 8.2.0
  -- fixes of warnings thrown by -Wall on GCC 8.2.0
  -- fixes of setenv()/unsetenv()
  -- workaround to make game loads fast even on public Newlib (due to slow
ftell()/fseek() implementation)
  -- fixes in Irrlicht engine which come with SuperTuxKart (they use their own,
modified one)
