Xonotic was forked from a game called [Nexuiz](nexuiz.md) after a [trademark](trademark.md) controversy. Nexuiz itself was created on top of liberated Quake 1 engine, so Xonotic still bears a lot Quake's legacy, however it masterfully expands on its core principles and makes the gameplay even better. For example rockets shot by rocket launcher can be guided with mouse while holding down the left button which adds a new skill element. New types of weapons were added to the classic AFPS weapons (e.g. the infamous electro, a [meme](meme.md) spamming weapon used by noobs for its forgiveness of lack of skill). Movement physics was also modified to give better air control and faster movement as a result.
The game's modified [Quake](quake.md) 1 engine called is called [Darkplaces](darkplaces.md). It can be highly customized and modded. Just like in other Quake engine games, there are many console commands (*cvars*) to alter almost anything about the game. Advanced programming can be done using [QuakeC](quakec.md). Maps can be created e.g. with [netradiant](netradiant.md).

Xonotic is similar to other libre AFPS games such as [OpenArena](openarena.md) and [Red Eclipse](red_eclipse.md). Of these Xonotic clearly looks the most professional, it has the best "graphics" in the [modern](modern.md) sense but still offers the option to turn all the fanciness off. OpenArena, based on Quake 3 engine, is simpler, both technologically and in gameplay, and its movement is slower and with different physics. While OpenArena just clones Quake 3, Xonotic is actually an original game with new ideas. Similar thing could be said about Red Eclipse, however that shows some infection with SJW poison.
