Debian package of additional TuxRacer courses
Hello,
I have uploaded Debian packages of additional TuxRacer courses at
http://people.debian.org/~tille/packages/tuxracer-courses/
The packages do not have Debian quality regarding the necessary docs
but they just work. I do not plan to make this an official package because
each single course would need an explicite license for each single
course. The web site
http://tuxracer.fubaby.com/courses.php
which provides these courses does not contain even author for each
course and so we might not be able to get a license at all. I looked
into the files and found some additional names of authors and their
e-mail addresses. I just append the file doc/courses which I stored
in the source tar archive. This might give you an idea of all working
courses (there where two broken zip files at the web page above) and
the authors if available.
If somebody would like to care about writing an e-mail to the author
and ask him for a license of his work it might be possible to build
an official package from this preliminary work. But I would love if
someone other would step in here.
Kind regards
Andreas.

Dead Man's Drop
Author: George (mjman) Veeder <mjmann420@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 7 / 10
Dead Man's Drop is a pretty tough hill. It's fast, steep, lumpy, twisty, and
full of trees. The herrings are hard to get as well. Also contains a *BIG*
surprise!

Hamburger Hill
Author: George (mjman) Veeder <mjmann420@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 8 / 10
Hamburger Hill is steep, narrow, twisty, lumpy, icy, and rocky, with a few
trees thrown in right in your way! Thank goodness this game doesn't injure
your penguin when you crash, otherwise he'd be ground beef by the time he
got to the bottom!
You'll have a lot of trouble staying on the ground in some areas, and it
will be hard to get a good time AND a good score.
Good luck and enjoy!

Hazzard Valley
Author: George (mjman) Veeder <mjmann420@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 5 / 10
Hazzard Valley is full of hazards, like trees, deep caverns, spikes, and
huge areas of rocky plains, not to mention your speed being your enemy in
trying to get the herrings and stay on course!

Hippo Run
Author: Adam (zopheus) Martin <zopheus@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 7 / 10
This is a fast course that makes you think. You can't just let gravity do
its work and sit back and watch. Fast and fun, there are three major sections
to the course. The first is a twisty ride over hills and ice. The second is
up on top, if you fall off your in trouble. Make it all the way on the second
part and get a fish reward. Third is the fastest part of all. But watch out
for all the trees they can catch you if your not careful. Have fun!

Ice Labyrinth
Author: George (mjman) Veeder <mjmann420@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 7 / 10
Ice Labyrinth has many possible paths to reach the finish. Some have more
herrings than others. This is a relatively fast course with times a bit
over a minute to complete.

Ice Pipeline
Author: John Michael Mulesa <slipstream2001@mac.com>
Mean Rating: 6 / 10
Cool course that is kind of a challenge because you are on a course elevated
on ice above the rest.

In Search Of Vodka
Author: Arthur Yarwood <arthur@fubaby.com>
Mean Rating: 10 / 10
A course with a bit of everything; bumpy ice, fast trenches, jumps, tree
dodging and more. Hope you enjoy.

Lightning Streak
Author: John Michael Mulesa <slipstream2001@mac.com>
Mean Rating: 8 / 10
My first course. Pretty basically zig zagging all the way down.

Mt. Herring
Author: George (mjman) Veeder <mjmann420@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 6 / 10
Mt. Herring is relatively long. It's somewhat bumpy in places, and has some
large wide open areas and branching paths. There are a fair number of herrings
to collect, though it is rather difficult to get a lot of them unless you
watch your speed.

Mt. Satan
Author: George (mjman) Veeder <mjmann420@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 6 / 10
Mount Satan is the sequel to Dead Man's Drop. Sorry, no surprises this time...
instead just a steep, bumpy, twisty path full of trees to get through and hard
to get herring. Included with this course is the Mountain Man cup for the .61
demo version.

Quiet River
Author: BlankHare <softpaws@mageos.com>
Mean Rating: 8 / 10
This one is willingly a very fast and technical ride. Keeping the pace and
getting all the herrings will be quite tricky (yes, it _is_ possible) and
it's easyer to "fall" of the frosen rivver than to come back on it.

Skull Mountain
Author: George (mjman) Veeder <mjmann420@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 6 / 10
Skull mountain is a steep, twisty drop around tree-filled inner peaks.
Herrings are hard to come by but you can get decent times otherwise.
Included a new cup with this one called the Valley Cup. Includes the
Mountain Man cup as well.

Snow Valley
Author: George (mjman) Veeder <mjmann420@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 8 / 10
Snow Valley is a relatively flat and very fast course. You'll find a few
herrings very difficult to get if you're going for a perfect score! Watch
your speed in certain areas to get the most herrings!

The Narrow Way
Author: George (mjman) Veeder <mjmann420@yahoo.com>
Mean Rating: 8 / 10
To put it simply, stay on the path or you lose! It's hard to see where
you're going, there's trees in your way, and the herrings are hard to get.
Good luck, you'll need it!

Touristic Ride
Author: BlankHare <softpaws@mageos.com>
Mean Rating: 9 / 10
No herrings nor big difficulties here: this race is more for the begginers
or those needing to relax some. You'll find here a complex and detailed
landscape without a real track: up to you to choose your way and explorate.
Still I couldn't help setting it so you'll get a lot of opportunities to end
crashing your head in the ice after a nice jump and put a few strategically
placed trees, but nothing _really_ bad.
