The project has an unusually long free-software game history, with official notes marking its May 2000 anniversary and current releases still built for major desktop platforms. ### Project history SuperTux began around May 2000, according to the project's own anniversary notes. Its official release notes show the long Milestone 2 era, development snapshots in the 0.3 series, a move from Google Code to GitHub, and later stable releases that modernized the engine, assets, editor, translations, and platform support. ### Adoption history The supplied package-manager facts show SuperTux packaged across many ecosystems, including Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Nix, MacPorts, apk, openSUSE, and winget. That breadth reflects its role as a classic free-software game that distributions can ship as a desktop application rather than as a developer-only tool. ### How it is used Users install SuperTux as a playable desktop game, while package maintainers handle its data files, graphics/audio stack, translations, and platform-specific builds. Official documentation highlights releases from supertux.org and GitHub, plus keyboard and gamepad play. ### Why package nerds care SuperTux matters to package nerds because it is a durable test case for packaging games: it includes compiled code, substantial game assets, translations, add-ons, editor functionality, and cross-platform release artifacts. It also demonstrates how long-lived free games survive package-manager churn across Linux distributions and macOS. ### Timeline - 2000: Project anniversary date identified in official notes as May 2000 - 2013: Official notes say development moved to GitHub - 2015: SuperTux 0.4.0 shipped a largely rewritten engine and add-on/translation support - 2020: SuperTux 0.6.2 celebrated the project's 20th anniversary - 2026: SuperTux 0.7.0 released with major art, level, editor, and porting updates ### Related projects - SuperTux sits in the free-software game tradition around Tux-themed desktop games and distribution-packaged open-source games rather than in a language-specific package ecosystem. ### Sources -
