Franklin Wei 5d05b9d3e9 Quake!
This ports id Software's Quake to run on the SDL plugin runtime. The
source code originated from id under the GPLv2 license. I used
https://github.com/ahefner/sdlquake as the base of my port.

Performance is, unsurprisingly, not on par with what you're probably
used to on PC. I average about 10FPS on ipod6g, but it's still
playable.

Sound works well enough, but in-game music is not supported. I've
written ARM assembly routines for the inner sound loop. Make sure you
turn the "brightness" all the way down, or colors will look funky.

To run, extract Quake's data files to /.rockbox/quake. Have fun!

\subsection{Quake}
This is id Software's \emph{Quake}, first released in 1996. The game
features a Gothic atmosphere and full 3D graphics.
\subsubsection{Installation}
Copy the game data files into \fname{/.rockbox/quake} on your
device. There should be an \fname{id1/} directory with a {.pak}
file. The shareware version is known to work.
\subsubsection{Configuration}
It is possible to customize the game controls through the
\emph{Options > Customize Controls} menu. Currently a limitation
exists which prevents one key from being bound to more than one
function.
