Older id Softdisk Games Open-Sourced [Jun 08, 2014, 12:00 pm ET] – 4 Comments
The Flat Rock Software GitHub Page
now offers the source code for some of the first games developed by id Software,
including TheCatacomb, Catacomb3D, Catacomb, and Hovertank3D. These packages are
being offered for free under the GPL, though like other such releases, this
covers the code, not the art assets, which will still required licensed copies
(which are sold by Flat Rock). This
inspired a nostalgic
Tweet from
John Carmack: "Thanks to Flat Rock Software and @Blzut3, the early code I
wrote for Softdisk is going GPL. https://github.com/FlatRockSoft/ Turbo Pascal
memories." Thanks
Phoronix.
