Title: Racer for OS4?

Check it! It  should be a nice game for OS4, and it is open source. There is an linux and MacOSx version already.

Very nice game. I wonder what kind of GFX engine it uses? (This might raise some troubles if it's not something easily portable) Hope it's OpenGL or something.

It's OpenGL - dunno about the rest but that should be easily portable at least.

Hi!

As explained several times before, concerning Racer: There is no source-code available, so it cannot be ported. Racer is freeware, but not OpenSource. As a Linux and MacOS X version exist it will probably use OpenGL, though..

There will be a (commercial) racing game for OS 4, though. It is called "Midnight Racing" and you find more information about it at www.hyperion-entertainment.com (recent News) and www.incagold.com (about the Windows version). Further Games from IncaGold will also get ported (they have especially several nice Racing Games, but also games from other genres) after Midnight Racing is finished.

While a racer would be nice and all, All i hope for is that Slamtilt Ressurection is coming to OS4 also  :-)

It is not fully open-source but you can ask for source if you make an Amiga version
