can SuperTux Kart be updated with Warp3D Nova ?

be nice to get a speed boost as I'm only getting 8-9 FPS with 3 or more cars on the track

Assuming that it's a minigl program then it will automatically get some speed up from Warp3D Nova once the minigl wrapper is finished.

While the Warp3D Nova MiniGL wrapper should help boost the frame-rate, that's not the same as an update to a newer version of SuperTuxKart.

AFAIK, the new SuperTuxKart is built with the Irrlicht engine. There appears to be an OpenGL ES 2 renderer, which is still a work-in-progress. So, it probably would be possible.

I can't remember why updating SuperTuxKart was previously seen as impossible. Irrlicht does support OpenGL 1.2, so theoretically MiniGL would be good enough. Maybe it requires shaders...

@Hans

sounds like good news perhaps Daniel (Daytona) can have a look after he finishes off Tower 57 for our miggies ?

I would like to see Super Tux Kart updated too, but i think it would also be nice to see someone port across something like a Need for Speed type racing game
