@ -14,6 +14,8 @@ Just like with Doom, the game's plot is simple and gives way to gameplay, it rev
In general the game is no longer as nice in its internals as Doom was, creeping of mainstream [capitalist](capitalism.md) [bullshit](bullshit.md) already started to show here.
The original system requirements were 8 MB of [RAM](ram.md), 80 MB of hard drive space and a 75 MHz [CPU](cpu.md).
The engine, also known as *Id Tech 2*, is written in [C89](c.md). The original source code release has just short of 100 [KLOC](loc.md). That's no longer really [suckless](suckless.md). The code itself looks alright, has consistent formatting and [comments](comment.md). The game was developed on [NeXTSTEP](nextstep.md). The engine is built around client-server architecture and allows a multiplayer of up to 32 players.
Quake engine features one highly embarrassing feature: a kind of [scripting](script.md) language called [QuakeC](quakec.md) (see also [HolyC](holyc.md)). This language compiled to [bytecode](bytecode.md) and allowed to mod the game without recompiling the engine (a feature that Doom engine lacked), which sounds cool and all, but it's [shit](shit.md): it's a new language, new compiler and huge [bloat](bloat.md).
