50K Racewalker is a Videlectrix game by Jonathan Howe. Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Right... OOPS!!! You lose!! Alternate left right for about five hours without messing up and you could win the gold!!

Page Title: Take some steps!

Instructions

Click on the buttons at the beginning to design your character. When in race mode alternate pressing right and left to move your character foward. If you press the same key twice you will get a FAULT. Wait for one foot to go down before you put another up or you will get a FAULT. If you press any key other than left or right you will get a FAULT. You can leave the game on for as long as you want, nothing will happen.

If you get a FAULT an annoying message will appear and your character will stop for a few seconds.

For every white line you pass on the track, you have traveled .01 kilometers. There are 40 successful "steps" required between each white line.

Fun Facts

• The "LICENSED BY FUNMACHINE" screen at the beginning pokes fun at classic video games and consoles, especially the Sega Genesis which displayed a "LICENSED BY SEGA" screen before each game, regardless of whether the game was actually licensed or not.
• When you approach 1K, your character starts walking into a pixelated blackness. Once you reach 1K, a message pops up, saying that it didn't expect anyone to get this far, and to hold on. After a few seconds, the blackness is apparently programmed in, and you can continue.
• When you get to the end it shows you a screen that says "You placed 3rd".
• You can view the end screen by right clicking and pressing play or foward in the swf file.
• The signs you walk/run by say:
  • Walk!
  • Go ________!(Whatever you typed in for a name.)
  • Farther!
  • These boots were made for it!
  • I've always loved you!
  • Our arms are getting tired!
  • You're almost there!
  • With your feet!
  • Walk it off!
  • Fun sport!
  • Iron Steed!
  • Beware Cheplin!
  • Weapons located in every corner!
  • Why?
  • Play footsie with me!
  • Walk Better!

• Sometimes the game will load up incorrect data where you'll start at 0.01k and it will say fault for every step you take.
• This game is a parody of olympic games where in the running part you would have to press left and right repeadetly to win.
• You can highlight the text on the signs in the background with your mouse like you would regular text on a word processor.
• The fastest you can walk is approximately 0.04 km per minute, meaning the fastest that one kilometer can be walked is 25 minutes. It would take 1250 minutes, or 20 hours and 50 minutes, to walk 50 kilometers.
