Since then, we have +feverishly been cleaning up, fixing bugs of, and adding features to Quake 3. Our eventual +goal is to have created <strong>the</strong> Quake3 source code distribution that people +base their games and forks with their own pointed goals upon. Our focus is initially +to get the game working everywhere. Sane new features are also smiled upon. +</p> +<h2>Progress.</h2> +<p>While a lot is on the horizon, quite a few goals have been completed already. Quake 3 +now works natively on x86_64 and PowerPC architectures, and the game builds and runs +in FreeBSD. SDL is now used for about everything, making the game far easier to port +to new platforms and architectures. Many bugs have been fixed. A more in-depth database +of new features, working status of platforms, and bugs is the <a href="?page=status">Status</a> +section.</p> +<h2>The future</h2> |
