There are currently 3 levels and you can choose between 3 different cars.\r\n\r\nUse the up arrow to accelerate and the left\/right arrows to steer.\r\n\r\nLibraries used: SFML + Thor + TGUI\r\n\r\nMusic and car images were taken from the internet (links are in readme file).\r\n\r\nAlthough the game was developed on linux, I have no experience with distributing games on linux. The linux build is for 64bit and is untested.\r\n\r\nHave fun!","title":"Racer"}
