Patry felt that made sense due to Tux being the mascot for the open-source Linux, and continued to work on the game before publicly uploading it to SourceForge for Linux under the free GNU General Public License on February 28, 2000, hoping others would join in on developing it. A webpage for the game was then started, and someone suggested he release the game's source code. Development of the game began in August 1999 as a final computer graphics project in Computer Graphics Lab, and was completed in three days to positive class reception. Tux Racer was originally developed by Jasmin Patry, a student attending the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, where he aimed to begin a career in the video game industry by pursuing a computer graphics degree.

In non-campaign sessions, besides practicing, : 9 players can also race in the two-player 'Head to Head' local multiplayer mode, viewed on a split-screen. : 7 Courses are unlocked for completing unfinished cups. : 4 They can participate in cups in one of the two events serving as game modes: the traditional 'Solo Challenge' or the new 'Race vs Opponents', where a computer opponent is added and must be defeated in order for the player to advance. : 6 Some courses contain jump and speed pads as power-ups, and players can perform tricks in midair to receive points. Besides Tux, players can select one of three other characters to race as: Samuel the seal, Boris the polar bear, and Neva the penguin. The commercial version of Tux Racer introduces new content. Maps are composed of three separately saved raster layers that each determine a map's elevation, terrain layout, and object placement. During level selection, the player can choose daytime settings and weather conditions such as wind and fog that affect the gameplay. Failing to meet all the criteria or aborting the race costs a life, and should the player lose all four lives, they must reenter the cup and start over.

Players can select cups, where progression is by completing a series of courses in order by satisfying up to three requirements: collecting sufficient herring, finishing the course below a specified time, and scoring enough points. The player gains points by collecting herrings scattered along the courses, and the faster the player finishes the course, the higher the score. However, rocky patches slow him down, : 193 as does crashing into trees. Sliding on ice allows speeding at the expense of traction, and snow allows for more maneuverability. Ĭourses are composed of various terrain types that affect Tux's performance. The player can also reset the penguin should he be stuck in any part of the course. Tux can slide off slopes or charge his jumps to temporarily launch into midair, during which he can flap his flippers to fly farther and adjust his direction left or right. The paddling stops giving speed and in turn slows Tux down when the speedometer turns yellow.

Pressing the paddling buttons on the ground gives Tux some additional speed. If the player presses the brakes and turn buttons, Tux will perform a tight turn.

Tux can turn left, right, brake, jump, and paddle, and flap his wings. Tux Racer is a racing game in which the player must control Tux across a mountainside.

From top-left clockwise, the user interface is composed of the time elapsed, the total number of herring collected, and a speedometer and 'energometer' used for charging jumps.

The free game's source code has led to it receiving forks, made by fans continuing its development. It is the only product that Sunspire Studios developed and released, after which the company liquidated. The game's popularity secured the development of a commercialized release that included enhanced graphics and multiplayer, and it also became the first GPL-licensed game to receive an arcade adaptation.

It also was well received, often being acclaimed for the graphics, fast-paced gameplay, and replayability, and was a fan favorite among Linux users and the free software community. Tux Racer was officially downloaded over one million times as of 2001. In the game, the player controls Tux as he slides down a course of snow and ice collecting herring. Later on, Patry and the newly founded Sunspire Studios, composed of several former students of the university, expanded it. It was originally developed by Jasmin Patry as a computer graphics project in a Canadian university. Tux Racer is a 2000 open-source winter sports racing video game starring the Linux mascot, Tux the penguin.
