## What it is
SuperTuxKart is a free, open-source 3D kart racing game focused on fun rather than realistic physics, with single-player and online multiplayer modes. This repository contains its C++ source code, built on OpenGL 3.3+/GLES 3.0 and released under the GPL.

## Use cases
- play a free open-source kart racing game
- play a racing game on linux without proprietary software
- host or join online multiplayer kart races
- contribute code to an open-source game
- build a 3d game from source with cmake
- find a family-friendly racing game for android

## When to choose
- you want a free, family-friendly kart racer on Linux, macOS, Windows, or Android
- you want to study or contribute to a mature open-source C++ game codebase
- you need a game that runs on modest hardware with OpenGL 3.3+

## When to avoid
- you want realistic driving physics or a racing simulator
- you need a game engine or library to build your own game rather than a finished game
- you require a permissively licensed codebase (it is GPL)

## Facets
