Moria's Race Addons

This page will be updated to include new addons if and when they will be published.

There is this game called SuperTuxKart that I didn't develop. But which is among the best Free Software games out there. And they have a way to make and publish addons. This is a list of addons that I made for SuperTuxKart.

The list will go from new to old.

Tutorial Truck

Made as a part of a video tutorial about how to make a kart for SuperTuxKart.

Bayhem!

Inspired by Michael Bay.

Dani's Race Karting

To promote Dani's Race

[embedded image]

Kart Track

To promote the new Mastodon account of Moria's Race I made this tracky track.

Circuit Board

When a pun is intended.

Subway

I'm getting crazier. This time it's a full town with working traffic, a radio station and a working subway system.

Car Park

This time I made a claustrophobic tiny track with a spooky original score to test people's nerves.

Japanese Garden

Inspired by the Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford Illinois ( which was suggested by the user named @RowdyJoe ) I made a Japanese Garden with roughly the layout of the real place.

Insanity

Long time ago one of the only games that worked on GNU / Linux was Trackmania. Since then GNU / Linux started supporting way more games. And I stopped playing proprietary games. But there was nothing wrong with channeling the nostalgia and trying to make an insane track for SuperTuxKart.

Interplanetary

I was bored out of my mind. And just making a normal track again made no sense to me. So I made a track where you go around the whole planet and beyond.

[embedded image]

Warehouse

I used to work on a Warehouse. And while I was there I always imagined to race the whole place through. So I made a warehouse track. It's inaccurate in a lot of ways. But it's fun. And that's the most important part.

Snow Peak Rework

There is this very popular track in SuperTuxKart called "Snow Peak" that a lot of people like to play, but that looks like complete ass. So I decided to update it's graphics.

[embedded image]

Oliver Up-Class

There is this very popular track in SuperTuxKart called "Oliver Up-Class" that a lot of people like to play, but that looks like complete ass. So I decided to update it's graphics. Though I ended up making a complete redesign of the classroom. Some people find my version way too colorful.

[embedded image]

Cinema

I was pissed that nobody watched my film Moria's Race. And so to calm myself down I've put 3 of my films into a cinema. And made a racing track through it.

[embedded image]

Richard Stallman

The game has a GNU mascot which is just a gnu flying on a carpet. But I think they were going for the famous Richard Stallman look with it. Where he used to put a funny shirt and pretend to be a wizard. I was inspired by it. To be honest since then RMS got cancer. And he doesn't look like a wizard anymore. Hope he will get better.

Israel Ramat Gan

I was walking outside of my house the other day and decided to procrastinate away from the Moria's Race project and instead recreate the area and make a SuperTuxKart track from it.

Moria's Race Addons

For the promotion of the movie Moria's Race I made several addons for SuperTuxKart. And I think that they were somewhat successful. They consist of various characters and areas from the film, converted to the format of the game. Some changes also include resizing normal sized cars from the film, into caricatured versions that look consistent with the rest of the game.

Is "2001: A Space Odyssey" a comedy?

Blender Dumbass
👁 13 💬 1

Stanley Kubrick is known for making... well... he is known primarily for making 2001: A Space Odyssey... but most of his other films are black-comedies that poke fun at some rather dark aspects of the society. Full Metal Jacket is undeniably a comedy that pokes fun at the Vietnam war. Dr. Strangelove is a comedy that pokes fun at the absurdity of nuclear weapons. Hell even Lolita is a comedy. And a very funny one at that. So in the middle of all this, Kubrick decides to make a movie about space and stuff. And makes 2001: A Space Odyssey. So is it a comedy as well?

The White Meadows tastes like Dead Sea water

The White Meadows is a political film. At the same time is an emotional and tear squeezing movie. That is common place with such films. The strange part is how emotionally charged it is.

Plausible Deniability

"I think you may like it" - said Mendel to Sheiny one day as he was looking at his TV screen. He was just browsing the web in search of some interesting things to look about and found an old interview with Jacque Fresco who was talking about an idea for a language of the future. He claimed that the languages of today are to vague and allow for multiple interpretations of the same idea, which allows for things like religion to be so successful and for people like lawyers to have successful jobs. And that in the future people would develop a concrete scientific language which will not allow for misunderstandings. Which will make all people understand each other perfectly. And which will put an end to such things like Plausible Deniability.

The movie is nothing like I've seen. It's a masterpiece of cinema. The so called critics are critical of it, citing similarities to James Cameron Titanic. They're right, but it is a dead serious film and by no one other than by Michael Bay. For the director, it a grueling experience to conduct. It's a good watch, it'll make you cry your eyes out.

Using AI For Art is to Disrespect Your Audience ( Testing Federation with Madiator's Blog )

This is a test of federation. But I will be using it the way it was intended, for discussion and respectful disagreements between people. In this case I will be trying to counter argument the statement in this post by Madiator, while agreeing with some of it.

Rollerball 2002 at least attempted something

Blender Dumbass
👁 7

When looking at the poster of 2002 film Rollerball you ask yourself 2 questions: 1) Why somebody thought it would be a good idea? 2 ) Why this somebody is John McTiernan, the filmmaker that brought us classics like Predator and Die Hard?
