Have you ever looked at source code of 3d action game? Well look at quake 2! It is pretty complicated... It's made in C but that is pretty close to C++... I suggest you take a look! And it's free :P

For example you can get it from here , but if you don't have a Game Spy account you can search Google Quake 2source code...

Yeah, well, what do you expect? It's a professional game made by a team of programmers.

sorry if this is old beyond old but i saw this and had to comment :D I never knew Quake 2 source code was released so this is pretty cool. C actually isnt all that similar to C++ from what I've seen, its got a ton of differences you have to work with. Thanks to whoever posted this so long ago.

actually c++ is an enhanced c, i have checked the code, and it isnt very different

yeah its like incremented with the ++ like an operator.

well ive read through a few books and theres things like global variables and such which really limited C, so it may be very alike but still not too easy to work with when all you know is C++. It is like C, but not to a point where you can learn C++ and completely know C. I just kind of misworded that.

Great that someone replied to my post at last! There was only one thogh... And I haven't been very active lately as you might have noticed...

Cybermaster, where have you been, I was worried sick about you :lol: I'm surprised to see you here, I thought you died or something :blink:

Quake2 source code from gnuTheres the link from gnu .

I got the Quake source codes once. But since I am still learning Console programing right now I haven't looked at it a lot yet. :(
I have never played Quake but I downloaded Wolvenstien 3D a few week ago.

I know this post is DAMN old <_<

But ID were planning to release the QuakeIII Engine Source Code - or was I dreaming that? (Read it in PC GAMER)

This isnt something I would know :D Anyways I looked at the source for the Quake2 and it confused the bubbles out of me so i deleted it :D

I got the DOOM source code... anyone want :(

:ph43r:

YA, I'd like the DOOM source code! That was like the first real game.

This post is probably REALLY old by now (maybe)
but this is the sources thats free (that i know of)
Quake
Quake2
All doom games (no not doom3)
and Quake3 Probably wont go free until another couple of years (its still getting money to them)

yes itr true C and C++ is like eachother alot but the system is different so dont be lored its easy to do mistakes...

just so u dont think im a rookie
Im the lead programmer of a half-life mod named Return To Doom
im working on some other shit like doom doom2 and quake2 sources (for fun)
and ive been a programmer within C++ about 4 years now (im 14 :P)

This may be irrelevant, but I just did a quick search for Doom Source Code and found the *legal* source code for Doom for the Atari Jaguar (go figure) here. It's kinda interesting to look at if you're interested in programming for consols.

I doubt anyone has the software to actually turn this into a Jaguar game though. I didn't think anyone besides myself even had a Jaguar, let alone have the software to create a game for it. ;)

i never had a jaguar but i had:

2 - atari 2600's
2 -coleco visions
about 200 games
about 30 controllers

and i thought it was the coolest thing in the world i was playin that when n64 came out....

i wish i still had that stuff.... oh well.

Just so you all know, YOUR NEWBIES! the main difference between c++ and c are that 1.OOP 2. OOP 3.OOP

I HOPE THAT CLEARS EVERYTHING UP FOR YOU ALL, and that goes for you too mr."IM 14 and a lead programmer in half life wutever shit" <_<

uhh yeah if we werent newbies we wouldent be here :P and he said half life MOD not the half life game itself.....

Just looked at the QII source... wow, it's complicated...

There's aboslutly nothing stopping you from writting a procedural prog in C. C++ is C that allows but is not limited to OOP.

Depends on which standard you mean C99 has many new things.

Just thought I'd add .. an FPS called Cube is also open source. It's a freeware game to begin with .. but it's totally awesome. The guy who made it seems to think that he's redefining the world of FPS's as we know it .. I wouldn't go that far but it is a pretty awesome game.

Hello... The Wraith tell me to ask... Does anyone here know a VX by the name of SikleCelArmenia??

Yes, again, I realize they is a really, really old thread. I have programmed in C++ for about 6 years now, but never really learned how to program in straight C before. One of my classes required me to program in C, and I had no difficulties. It is true that there are some fundamental differences, but if somebody knows C++, reading C code should be no big deal. Also, I find console apps easier to understand, but that's only because I learned Pascal before C++ or even Java. FYI, I'm 20 and a senior at Oregon State University and have been programming games for about 8 years.

wtf? BloodGhst's post is inside BerlinAssassin's post? How'd that happen?

edit: Mine is too!

^ I noticed that too... probably a problem with the databasing. Crazy.

Oooh i think i might dl it(dling)

i think its the html in BloodGhst's sig

a little quote from a game developer:

never trust game source :)

i DEFINATLY agree with that-- like i start out with an idea and then i get an idea to make something better, and i add that, and then i add something else and pretty soon i have a huge mess.

I know what that's like. I once developed a GUI (trust me, it was a pain) and before I knew it, I had 3000 lines of code that was completely disorganized. The person I was working with at the time and I devised a way to keep our code cleaner, but we soon didn't stick to that as our deadline loomed (I was planning on going on a cross country trip.) We also cut a lot of corners and didn't try to research ways to better implement what we were doing. If only I had known about inheritance at the time. Also, we ended up with something that only ran on XP. It worked, but barely. We had much debugging to do still.
The moral of my story, everybody does this, and I know frist hand how badly coded some things can be at the end of a production period.

Edit to add: The post inside a post seems to be fixed. Good thing too. That was annoying me.
