Cool!  Welcome!

TuxKart is written in C++ - but I don't use many of the more esoteric
features - so you should be reasonably at home.

The current state is that the game runs, is playable and gets reasonably
good reviews - but it needs to be kicked into high gear - better art, more
art, more features, slicker user interfaces...that kind of thing.

Actually, 3D programming is the least of everything we have to do.

However, GoKart physics, AI for the enemy players...how about that?

If that's too advanced for you, you could work on the startup GUI stuff,
the high score table...that kind of thing maybe?

Perhaps you have latent artistic talents,  we'll need lots more 3D
models, 2D splash screens...icons, texture maps.  How about sound effects
and/or music?

Perhaps it would help to know your background.  What have you programmed
before?
