Today they made it official: The fundraising has come so close to netting 600K overall, with a few more hours left to go, that they are officially committing themselves to creating a Linux port of the new game. PC gamers will get to play Carmageddon 4 first, with a February 2013 release date. The MacOS & Linux versions will follow the PC version later in 2013.

The PC versions of the Carmageddon games (the console versions came out later) have superb physics. It's fun just to explore the course in search of ramps and hills to jump off of. If I remember the game notes correctly, the development team for the first game included someone with a Phd in physics. Heck, the engine for the second game even allowed for magnetism, but the feature never got enabled in the released version (there was a big electromagnet on a crane in the junkyard that you would have been able to drive under and get stuck to - the video that the dev team released looked fantastic). But at any rate, I must agree with the fact that good physics can make or break a game.

The Tao is like a stack: the data changes but not the structure. the more you use it, the deeper it becomes; the more you talk of it, the less you understand.
