From Ecksdee

Ecksdee is a futuristic racing 3D game, which is libre-software (under the GPL License), and still in development.
It is made with Crystal Space 3D SDK (CS) and Crystal Entity Layer (CEL), is mainly developed on GNU/Linux, but due to the multi-platform nature of CS, it should build and work on *BSD, MacOS/X and Windows too. More about Ecksdee... The source code is derived from Interstate Outlaws.
