==Hardware==
  +
Supertux 0.1 is a very lightweight game,and don't even need 3d acelleration
  +
  +
that have permited it's port to hardware such as zaurus pda or the psp
  +
  +
But the upcomming 0.2 version will need 3d aceleration
  +
  +
==The story==
  +
Supertux was inspired by supermario ,and so it's story is very similar
  +
At the beguining of the game The folowing text is scrolling:
  +
Penny gets captured!
  +
  +
Tux and Penny were out having a nice
  +
picnic on the ice fields of Antarctica.
  +
Suddenly, a creature jumped from
  +
behind an ice bush, there was a flash,
  +
and Tux fell asleep!
  +
  +
When Tux wakes up, he finds that Penny
  +
is missing. Where she lay before now
  +
lies a letter. "Tux, my arch enemy!"
  +
says the letter. "I have captured
  +
your beautiful Penny and have taken her
  +
to my fortress. The path to my fortress
  +
is littered with my minions. Give up on
  +
the thought of trying to reclaim her,
  +
you haven't a chance! -Nolok"
  +
  +
Tux looks and see Nolok's fortress in
  +
the distance. Determined to save his
  +
beloved Penny, he begins his journey.
  +
Then tux will have to go trough a lof of level before ariving to Nolok forteress...
  +
  +
''we won't disclosure the end of the game in order to keep suspense...''
  +
  +
==The Game==
  +
===Lifes===
  +
As you can see on the screenshot displayed on this page,You have a limited number of life,but don't worry,you won't have to restart the game from the beguining when you die:you don't loose your progress
  +
  +
The only thing is that within a Level,when you die and you have some life remaning,you restart from the last automaticaly saved point inside the world,and so if you loose all your lifes you will have to start from the beguining of the world
  +
===Save===
  +
Your progress is automaticaly saved
  +
  +
==Difficulty==
  +
The normale game is simple and can be done by anyone,but without beeing too much simple and boring
  +
  +
Some world of the Bonus Island at the oposite,are very difficult
  +
  +
  +
you have several bonus such as
  +
__IMAGE__ that give you a normal size __IMAGE__
  +
  +
__IMAGE__ that turn you in a firetux __IMAGE__
  +
  +
while the normal sized tux doesn't give you an enormous advantage(when you get hit by enemies you don't die but you are changed into a small tux that die if he is hit by enemies) the firetux gives you an enormous advantages,loosing this capability(by beeing changed into a normal tux,because you were hit by an enemy) can render the level much more difficult,spedialy in the Bonus Islands
  +
  +
Mabe the reason why the supertux developers have made some hidden world is to permit the user to rapidely re-aquire this firetux state
  +
That can be very usefull for a person that isn't very skilled at videogames
  +
  +
==Bonus Island==
  +
In the 0.1.3 version of SuperTux there is 2 bonus island
  +
  +
You must finish the game(the normal world) in order to unlock the 2 Bonus island
  +
  +
At First sight that seams to be 2 suplementary level,but in fact that is a lot more than this:
  +
  +
{|
  +

  +

  +
[[Image:World_screenshot_01.png|left|300px|]]

The 0.1.3 is the last version of supertux milestone 1 and so it contain the "Bonus Island" I and II that are bonus level,so we will add 0.1.3 ports and if a platform hasn't a 0.1.3 port we will tell what is missing

We will add all the port missing from http://supertux.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Download/Installation

SuperTux is a free, open source computer game. It is a sidescrolling platformer starring Tux the Linux penguin.

Supertux is also known as "supertux milestone 1",or "supertux 0.1"

Hardware

Supertux 0.1 is a very lightweight game,and don't even need 3d acelleration

that have permited it's port to hardware such as zaurus pda or the psp

But the upcomming 0.2 version will need 3d aceleration

The story

Supertux was inspired by supermario ,and so it's story is very similar At the beguining of the game The folowing text is scrolling:

Penny gets captured!

       Tux and Penny were out having a nice
       picnic on the ice fields of Antarctica.
       Suddenly, a creature jumped from
       behind an ice bush, there was a flash,
       and Tux fell asleep!

       When Tux wakes up, he finds that Penny
       is missing. Where she lay before now
       lies a letter. "Tux, my arch enemy!"
       says the letter. "I have captured
       your beautiful Penny and have taken her
       to my fortress. The path to my fortress
       is littered with my minions. Give up on
       the thought of trying to reclaim her,
       you haven't a chance! -Nolok"

       Tux looks and see Nolok's fortress in
       the distance. Determined to save his
       beloved Penny, he begins his journey.

Then tux will have to go trough a lof of level before ariving to Nolok forteress...

we won't disclosure the end of the game in order to keep suspense...

The Game

Lifes

As you can see on the screenshot displayed on this page,You have a limited number of life,but don't worry,you won't have to restart the game from the beguining when you die:you don't loose your progress

The only thing is that within a Level,when you die and you have some life remaning,you restart from the last automaticaly saved point inside the world,and so if you loose all your lifes you will have to start from the beguining of the world

Save

Your progress is automaticaly saved

Difficulty

The normale game is simple and can be done by anyone,but without beeing too much simple and boring

Some world of the Bonus Island at the oposite,are very difficult


you have several bonus such as __IMAGE__ that give you a normal size __IMAGE__

__IMAGE__ that turn you in a firetux __IMAGE__

while the normal sized tux doesn't give you an enormous advantage(when you get hit by enemies you don't die but you are changed into a small tux that die if he is hit by enemies) the firetux gives you an enormous advantages,loosing this capability(by beeing changed into a normal tux,because you were hit by an enemy) can render the level much more difficult,spedialy in the Bonus Islands

Mabe the reason why the supertux developers have made some hidden world is to permit the user to rapidely re-aquire this firetux state That can be very usefull for a person that isn't very skilled at videogames

Bonus Island

In the 0.1.3 version of SuperTux there is 2 bonus island

You must finish the game(the normal world) in order to unlock the 2 Bonus island

At First sight that seams to be 2 suplementary level,but in fact that is a lot more than this:

The normal World

  • Some Indications on levels
  • The Leveldot green indicate that you have finished the Level
  • The Leveldot red indicate that you have not finished the Level,that could be an acessible level such as the one you are trying to finish or any other level that are not acessible
  • The Teleporter is a teleproter,most of the time it teleport you to home but some of theses don't
  • The Snowman indicate nothing,he is just here to tell you that there is no road

Bonus Island II

  • The bonus Island 2 include 28 Levels (to be verified)

the counting of the nubber of level in the bonus level is very inprecise...: the folowing is an example for the Bonus Island I

cd /usr/share/games/supertux/levels/bonus1
ls -l | grep -c .stl

Game Data

The 0.1.3 is the last version of supertux milestone 1 and so it contain the "Bonus Island" I and II that are bonus level,so we will add 0.1.3 ports and if a platform hasn't a 0.1.3 port we will tell what is missing

We will add all the port missing from http://supertux.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Download/Installation
