There are two ways to find out what is this about: 1) download the game and loose your day playing 2) watch the video, and then download the game and loose your day playing.No more words, here's the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmZPoEti_aMA better description?MotoGT is 2D top-viewed game where you drive a MotoGP bike, and you want to win races. In career mode you start with a regular bike, but when you win races you get experience, and experience let's you improve your bike. If you win championships, you can also unlock hidden features.The game is writen from scratch in C++ with SFML libs. It is really free (GPL license for code, CC-BY-SA license for the rest of the art), and portable (currently runs on Windows and GNU/Linux, soon also for Mac OSX).What's in the game:Here's a list of what the downloadable version do have now: 15 different bike colours 12 different tracks Nocturnal races Wheater conditions Quickrace and Career modes Three-stage race weekend Championship mode Tunable graphic details Ambient and fx sounds Integrated help system Joystick support Reworked game options On screen map and information Widescreen support Multilingual: spanish/englishWhat's missing:Here's a list of changes you'll see in the final version (and its progress): Unlockable hidden features Really different bikes Improved tracks' graphics And more...Latest version is: beta 20110505.IMPORTANT: The game is not over yet (but playable anyway), I'm still developing some features, so please be patient and let me know how you think it is going at this point.Installing the gameThere is no installer. It's just a compressed (zip) file. In Microsoft Windows, just unconmpress it somewhere and run "MotoGT.exe". In GNU/Linux, you can try with one of the included precompiled binaries, and if that doesn't work you'll need to compile it, but there are easy instructions in the file "linux.txt", so download the same zip file and follow the instructions.Compiling the gameThe source code is included in the zip file. There are also two Makefiles (for GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows). You will need GCC/MinGW and the SFML library. There is also a project file to be opened with ZinjaI (a free C++ IDE).For compiling in GNU/Linux, just type "make" in a terminal.Hardware requirementsI don't know exactly what you need to run this game, but it should go smoothly in any modern PC (with OpenGL working properly), and it also includes a set of low-resolution images in order to run in old machines. That means that it doesn't require a huge graphic card, it only uses basic OpenGL functions, and modern stuff (like shader's effects) is optional and doesn't affect gameplay. So detail (textures resolution, and amount of effects) can be easily tuned to fit your system.
