Futuristic arcade racing game for DOS.

This is a very alpha version, with whatever was ready just before the deadline. Stay tuned for improved and optimized updates.

Eradicate attempts to auto-detect the installed sound card, and only asks the user for manual sound card configuration if the auto-detection fails. If for some reason your sound card is not detected correctly, or if you wish to change the current settings, start the game with the -setup option. You will only need to do this once; your choices are automatically saved, and will be used every time you start the game in the future.

The GNU/Linux and Windows versions support framebuffer scaling. Use the FBSCALE environment variable to set the scaling factor. For example: export FBSCALE=2 will result in 2x scaling. Also you can toggle between fullscreen and windowed modes with alt-enter.

Controls

• Arrow keys or wasd to accelerate/break and turn
• tab to skip to the next music track
• `+`/`=` to adjust the volume

The game comes with a few appropriate music tracks, downloaded from modarchive. Copyright belongs to their respective authors. You can drop your own music in the `data/musgame` and `data/musmenu` directories to add them to the game jukebox. The game will play files in random order from these directories. The files need to be tracked music in `.xm`, `.mod`, `.s3m`, or `.it` formats. See https://modarchive.org/ for a wide selection of compatible music files.
