Downloads
PIKI Play games run as native clients on Windows, Linux and macOS. Browser play is not available. Download a client once; after that every room gives you a one-line launch command.
For now these are the official upstream engine builds. The BULGAR servers are compatible with them. BULGAR-branded client packs for SuperBulKart and BULGAR Eclipse are coming.
SuperBulKart
Use the upstream SuperTuxKart 1.5 client. Install it, then use the launch command from any race room.
- Windows: the installer puts supertuxkart.exe under Program Files; the .bat from your room finds it there.
- Linux: the release tarball includes run_game.sh; or install supertuxkart from your distribution if it is 1.5.
- macOS: drag SuperTuxKart.app to Applications.
BULGAR Eclipse
Use the upstream Red Eclipse 2.0.0 client. Install it, then use the launch command from any arena room.
- Windows: the installer creates a Red Eclipse folder with redeclipse.bat; the room .bat calls it.
- Linux: unpack the tarball and run redeclipse.sh from that folder.
- macOS: use the macOS build from the same release page.
Joining a server
Open a room, wait for the host to start the server, then press Get my join ticket. You get a command to copy, plus a .bat file for Windows and a .sh file for Linux and macOS. Each ticket is personal, works once and expires after 10 minutes, so get a fresh one if you are late.
Game licences and credits are on the credits page.
