libre racing video game by drummyfish
libre racing video game by drummyfish (drummyfish@disroot.org)

~~~~~ GENERAL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Licar is a relatively simple 3D stunt racing game inspired by other popular
games of the genre, such as Trackmania and Stunts. Unlike mainstream video
games, Licar is completely libre, i.e. free as in freedom (meaning its source
code and art assets are available for any use whatsoever), gratis (free of cost)
and its focus lies in being well programmed by adhering to minimalism and
rejecting harmful "modern" programming practices. The game aims to seflessly
bring joy and entertainment to all the people that might enjoy it, even those
who aren't able or willing to pay and/or watch ads, those owning very old and
weak computers and so on. It was made in whole by a single man as a completely
non-commercial product, the development was driven purely by love of the craft
and other living beings. Licar is also more than a game, for example it may
serve educational purposes or become a basis for new projects.

The game runs on many platforms and comes in different versions depending on
what the platforms allow. Some versions may have more features or visual
"richness" than others. If anything mentioned in this manual is missing in your
game, it's probably because of limitations of your platform. On PCs and laptops
however everything should be supported.

it, the game is meant to be a simple entertainment. In other words this is a
feature :)
Q: I found a bug or have some other important comment.
A: Send me an email (found on top of this file).
Q: I have some other question (such as "Why is this not written in a modern
language?" or "What inspired you to make the game?" etc.)
A: Many questions I often get asked about my life philosophy and opinions can't
now be answered shortly. I have a website at http://www.tastyfish.cz. If you
don't find the answer there, my email is currently drummyfish@disroot.org, feel
free to ask me anything, but please remember I am not very social and don't
enjoy too much engaging in smalltalk or lengthy discussions about worldviews
etcetc.
A: Many questions I often get asked about my life and/or programming philosophy
can't now be answered in a tl;dr way without doing them injustice. I have a
website at http://www.tastyfish.cz, where I attempt to explain things, but
please note you will probably not like it. If you still decide to follow the
link and don't find your answer, feel to ask me anything over email, but please
remember I am not very social and don't enjoy too much engaging in smalltalk or
lengthy discussions about worldviews etcetc. I am certainly not interested in
having my opinions changed or changing someone else's mind by force.
