Tux Racer Guide: Racing Screen



 Once you are racing, you will have a number of displays. This section describes what each of these are.


 - Speedometer tells you how fast you are going.


 - Energometer tells you how much energy you have charged.


 - Elapsed Time tells you how long you have been racing in the race.


 - Herring Collected tells you how many herring you have collected so far in the race.


5.1 Speedometer


The Speedometer shows the current speed of Tux. The speed is displayed in graphic form around the outside of the Energometer, and also in numeric form over the Energometer. As Tux's speed increases, the colour of the Speedometer changes from green to yellow and then to red. When in the yellow, paddling will no longer increase Tux's speed, but instead will beginning to slow him down. Once in the red zone you will find steering difficult.


5.2 Energometer


The Energometer displays Tux's current energy level. As the circle fills with blue, Tux's energy increases until the circle is full. The Energometer decides how far and high Tux can jump. See the Jumping section for more information.


5.3 Elapsed Time


The number in the top left of the screen shows the elapsed time for the current race.


5.4 Herring Collected


The number in the top right of the screen shows how many herring Tux has collected in the current race.
