[@general0mega]

It's not as simple as dumping C code into a device and having it run. Even then the least of your worries is compiling it. The classic Linux version doesn't even compile and run on modern Linux systems out of the box but it can be made to work with care and effort. The generosity, openness, and dedication of the open-source and hobbyist communities deserves more credit for the work they do to make the ports available not just for your graphing calculator, watch, and Windows.

As self taught programmer that STARTED with Borland C before branching out into other languages the thing that for me cemented just how INHUMANE John was as a programmer was when I read a technical article where he was like well C (You know JUST one of the industry standard high level programing languages at the time) just wasn't optimized ENOUGH for him. So he wrote QuakeC! As in This Chad LITERALLY WROTE the MFing computer programing language, the parser, the interpreter, the compiler ALL of it that as a precursor to actually programming Quake

[@TetrisMaster512]

I think you might be misremembering. QuakeC was developed as a scripting language. It does not (and was never intended to) replace C and assembly for high-performance code. In fact, since it's interpreted it literally can't be faster than equivalent code written in C/asm. There are just benefits that make the performance penalty a worthwhile tradeoff, same reason why a lot of gamedevs use scripting languages like Lua nowadays.

[@ManicObsevations]

[@BenjaminGlatt]

Then you remember that RCT was basically written entirely in assembly.

[@cleventinetheclementine195]

read that as quackC initially, and im creating a petition to rename quakec to quackc

[@mauriciosmit1232]

Writing a C compiler is not necessarily hard as C is actually a simple language, it is just hard to use (don't confuse it with c++, that one is impossible lol). Many hobbyists make their own languages that just never stick. Parsers aren't hard either, as there are programs that autogenerate parser code. Now making a more optimizing compiler than the widely accesible ones is a herculean task, and you would have to be an absolute genius to do it better than teams of experienced experts.

[@heinrichthiart]

Fun fact. Doom was originally going to be a video game adaptation of Aliens (1986). Plans for that were scrapped in order to allow more creative freedom.

@@borysviktor6124 Wolfenstein 3D's engine (1992) was basically just an improved version of the engine from Catacomb 3D (1991), which is itself an improvement on the engine from Hovertank 3D (1991). Those 3 games walked so that doom could run many times faster than the land speed record. Catacomb 3d is the great grandfather of fps, with Hovertank 3d being the Great, Great Grandfather of fps.

Here's a funny story about the fact that Doom can run on everything. I actually tore through a huge map in my DREAMS!

Me and my bro were among the first recipients as part of an advertising campaign, and we had set it up in the spare room, upright at a slant, and I had tweaked GZDoom to work with the system.

C isnt 'prehistoric' its just a very very useful abstraction of assembly. Given there are hundreds of different processor architectures, C provides a way of making portable code, as does C++, and other higher level languages. You wouldn't want to have to learn assembly for every architecture, whereas its super easy to compile your C/C++ code for x86, AMD64, ARM, RISC-V etc... (obviously with some modifications to code, but nothing super significant). And with regards to the meme of C being written in C... it basically is as most of the libraries you need for a functioning program are written in C - it compiles to machine code. As most programmers know too, the compiler is more intelligent than they are, so writing in assembly is generally the wrong approach.

[@jal051]

[@leogama3422]

If the device only reads Assembler code, how can you port Doom to the device?

[@lewisd56]

@@kittymelody-9 a device doesn't read assembly, it reads binary. Assembly is the lowest level abstraction of binary that is human readable, C is a step above that. C and C++ both compile down into machine code (binary) so porting is simply a process of ensuring data types are compatible with the architecture and you use the right compiler. Any turing complete computer can run doom provided it has enough memory and processing power. The microcontroller in your alarm clock could run it...

John Carmack certainly deserves his credit for the advancement of gaming tech onto PCs not made for the activity, but all of his work was based on technology that had already been conceived, he invented none of it from scratch. The first PCs to have gaming (including platformers) had Commodore and Atari in their names, not IBM or the slew of other IBM-compatible manufacturers. The personal computer revolution started with PCs capable of both productivity AND gaming. For example, I was playing both Donkey Kong(static screen) and Jungle Hunt (scrolling screen) on the C64 7 years before Commander Keen was released.

[@MrStratofish]

The released source code was Linux-only because the DOS version used a proprietary sound driver, nothing to do with Windows. IIRC the Linux port was done in house and it shared a source tree with the DOS one. The Windows Port was done by a different team and the code was separate (apparently by Gabe Newell, then at Microsoft from a quick search?) so that was not available for iD to release. From somebody who was there at the time, a lot of games were still too resource-intensive to run inside Windows although Win95 was a big improvement. Dual-booting DOS/Windows was common for high-end gaming until 3d-accerelators started to be mainstream. Around the time of Quake 2 was when it started to change after the early success of the experimental GLQuake binaries. The notes that came with the source said "this code only compiles and runs on linux. We couldn't release the dos code because of a copyrighted sound library we used (wow, was that a mistake -- I write my own sound code now), and I honestly don't even know what happened to the port that microsoft did to windows."

[@SuperS05]

Windows 95 wasn't much more than a GUI running on top of msdos. Games would often be run in the command line, ignoring Windows 95 all together. 98 had a few more hooks, but it wasn't until XP that we saw a non DOS based windows.

[@MonochromeWench]

Doom was written in C for first and second generation 32 bit computers (slow!) with only 4 MB of ram so pretty much anything recent with a microprocessor core can meet those requirements. For display it only needs a dumb frame buffer, so if the device has a display that can be written per pixel it is good enough (and if not hackers will figure out something). It also helps that C compilers have tried really hard to maintain compatibility with the c89 standard. A lot of code in the 90s and 2000s was writtten to that standard so it can't just disappear without making a lot of people really unhappy. The source being for Linux doom no doubt helped a lot because the code will not be doing anything too horrible trying to do low level hardware access.

[@mauriciosmit1232]

The newer standards themselves are backwards compatible actually, to ensure the new features don't break existing code as the updates to the standard are iterative. Unfortunately that doesn't mean old code will compile, because it sometimes relies on custom compiler and os extensions to the language that become obsolete.

4:10 it’s pretty interesting how everything has changed. Now you have to make gaming consuls more powerful to Rival gaming computers.

How the tables have turned

So without consoles there wouldn't be gaming PCs? 🗿

[@draconpost]

And the games for pc's had to be optimized better to at least run on them XD

If Midnight's flavour comes out before I even get 1 Gamersubs thing...I'd be PISSed (pun clearly not intended😂😂)

not "carmack as his own" (around 8:40). They hired another very good programmer to help on Quake. And, as usual for the time, the devs shared code with more ease.

The SNES version of DOOM isn't a lazy cash-grab port at all. It's not even a port at all. An engine was coded from scratch by another God-tier programmer, Randy Linden (also famous for other impossible things like Amiga Dragons Lair and the Bleem PSX emulator) It's literally taking a game that required a $1000+ PC and a 66MHz 486 x68 CPU, and ran it passably well on a $100 console with a weedy 3.5MHz 6502 CPU and a 21MHz SuperFX2 chip to do the heavy lifting...it's truly a miracle it runs at all There's a github somewhere where hackers clain they can get the framerate doubled with a simple fix on real SNES hardware too!

Regarding the 8:28, John Carmack did not invent the BSP algorithm , the algorithm as already described in the 1975 by J.D. Northrup. And the RayCasting is as old as 1968...
