Colin Bayer - 2001-05-23

I just posted a minor patch to Tux Racer for those Tux Racer users stuck in countries with nonsensical measuring systems; quite amazing since I know very little C. 8-P

To turn on the MPH patch, just save the patch to the /usr/src directory (as root) and run:

    patch -p0 < mph.patch

from /usr/src.  This'll only work right away if Tux Racer's source is in /usr/src/tuxracer-0.61 -- if not, you'll have to figure out how to make it work.  Run Tux Racer, and all speeds will be in miles per hour.  Want to change it back?  Open ~/.tuxracer/options and change:

    set miles_per_hour true

to:
   
    set miles_per_hour false.

It's that easy!  And we're selling it to you for the low, low price of $0.00!
