Touch Racer App for GNU/Linux

TouchRacer (the original one, by thelv) is a combination of an Android app and a Windows app that lets you turn your smartphone into a steering wheel for playing racing games. This app is the GNU/Linux equivalent/replacement for the original Windows app.

Downloading and Running the GNU/Linux App

There is no installer. Just extract the files and run TouchRacerLinux (for the gui version) or TouchRacerLinux-cli (for the console version). You may have to run it as root.

sudo ./TouchRacerLinux

You will need to install the original Android app in your phone, and run this one in your GNU/Linux system. Both apps will communicate over wifi network, and the system will see the phone as if it were a joystick. You should be able to control any game that has joystick support.
