Tux Racer is Jasmin F. Patry's 3D downhill racing game (version 0.61): Tux slides down snow, rock and ice, turns with the keys, jumps and does tricks in the air, and grabs herring on the way to the finish.
The courses are the original ones with their elevation, terrain, trees, herring, flags and start and finish banners; the physics is the original's own simulation of gravity, friction, Tux's springy tush and the air.
This port uses three.js to draw the original's scene and data. Practice lets you ski any course; Racing runs the Herring Run cup, where each race has a time and herring requirement.
