Welcome, potential GSoC participant!

SuperTux is an open-source jump'n'run game. It was originally created by a guy called Bill Kendrick, who saw the need for an alternative to the proprietary Super Mario. It's all about Tux, a penguin (and the Linux mascot by the way), whose beloved girlfriend Penny was captured by evil Nolok while they were just having a nice picnic out on the ice fields. Of course, Tux will do everything he can to rescue her, and so the story begins...

Since the dawn of SuperTux in 2000, project development has undergone various stages of activity. Since the year 2011, however, development has picked up with a new team and is now stronger than ever with many features added in the recent years (for example, a new level editor) and many more to come. And that's where you come in!

Here are a few potential projects we came up with:

**Multi player**
SuperTux has traditionally been a single-player game. However, since we know that playing games together is much more fun, we're looking for a way to allow more than one player to play the game. Initially, both players should play on the same computer (split-screen interface), but networked multi-player could also be possible.

** OpenGL ES Support **
SuperTux is available for a wide-range of computers. However, we're still lacking support for low-powered devices such as mobile phones. That's why we're looking for students who are knowledgeable in OpenGL ES to help us with that.

** Add-on Homepage **
SuperTux comes with a variety of add-ons (levels and worldmaps contributed by other people). However, managing contributions is currently very painful. We're looking for a skilled student who can help us with that and develop a web interface for managing the add-ons used in the game.
