Handmade Quake

Post by fau »

A series of videos in which the author is trying to rewrite Quake from scratch. Just pasting here for the reference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mKd3tP ... rhxWKgVKVy - Prerequisites, installing msvc, really boring.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPHJgfS ... MarnfyNhHF - Introductory C programming so far, maybe it will get faster/more interesting later on.

I wouldn't recommended videos I've seen so far to anyone familiar with C.
I'm not a big fan of video tutorials, one could read the code or write it himself in half the time. I consider it a lazy form of sharing knowledge, as opposed to written text or real, interactive lecture. Ofc there are exceptions like cooking or make-up guides, but programming is not one of them :P

quite nice to see the quake 1 source rewriten from scratch (i tried the original quake 1 source few years ago, and this new one is too much better), so is interesting how this guy explain how full video games are actually built.

most of games nowadays are based in a standard source code, so this video is a clear view about how is made from the beginning. im really surprised how this guy started with a blank visual studio project, nothing pre-written at all. (he must love much programming :lol:)

thanks for sharing

This seems useful for understanding how the JK2 code is structured and how C works.
Thanks for sharing!
