#Quake engines code#

The first version of the engine was an adaptation of id Tech 3 (or Quake 3) engine. It is licensed under GNU General Public License. Great effects and lighting at the time, and an all around great game.

#Quake engines code#

Id Tech 4 was released as open source code on Github. That game was one of the last to use the Quake 3 engine and it milked it for all it was worth. John also developed the engine versions id Tech 1 (known as Doom) and Quake (predecessor of id Tech 2) engines. All of the engines described below, except ezQuake and Fodquake, have some amount of support for NetQuake multiplayer. ProQuake, Qrack, and DarkPlaces are the most popular engines for playing NetQuake multiplayer. DarkPlaces also provides QuakeWorld support. But you can already see how calling it a 'true-3D-brush-and-BSP-using-scanline-rasterization-engine' starts to get a little cumbersome. This engine developed by John Carmack in 2011. ezQuake, FTE, and Fodquake are the most popular engines for playing QuakeWorld multiplayer. There are several other ways in which you could classify the engine (such as how it rendered the environment front-to-back but still wrote to a depth buffer for handling the rendering of mobile objects, like characters). It used scanline rasterization, as noted in the comments, to produce the final scene image. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, on laptops, workstations, standalone servers and multi-node clusters. It is a BSP engine, because after pre-processing the brushes that define a map, a BSP tree is built for dealing with polygon visibility. The OpenQuake Engine is an open source application that allows users to compute seismic hazard and seismic risk of earthquakes on a global scale. It is a brush engine, in that it uses oriented convex 3D geometry to define interior spaces of the game world. It's a true 3D engine, in that it could render actual 3D geometry and not the sort of extruded and offset 2D maps of some of its predecessors. It focuses mainly on bugfixing and compatibility with contemporary systems, while remaining true to the original look and feel of the game. Other supported games include Hexen II and Doom3. it is a brush engine, in that it uses oriented convex 3D geometry to define interior spaces of the game world. The Ultimate Quake Engine (UQE) is a Source port by Jacques Krige for Quake and Quake II. That said, the Quake rendering engine does has several identifying features: That said, the Quake rendering engine does has several identifying features: it's a true 3D engine, in that it could render actual 3D geometry and not the sort of extruded and offset 2D maps of some of its predecessors. There isn't a single term for it (other than 'Quake-like' or similar), because rendering engines can differ or not in a variety of ways.
