SuperTuxKart is a clone of
Mario Kart, but uses mascots such as Tux the Penguin (Linux's mascot), Wilber (the GIMP mascot), and some elephant thing (the PHP mascot). It is 3D and maintains Mario Kart's features such as attacks, grand prix, and also has support for addons.
My Rating: 7/10Average Player Rating: 8.5/10http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/What Qualifies as Open Source?"Open source" refers to something that has publicly-available source code, and that the software can be modified by anyone who knows how, and development is not restricted to just one development team. Because of this, many open-source programs are moddable or have add-ons.
Anything found on
SourceForge.net is considered open source because SourceForge is a host for open-source projects.
