Andre Werthmann writes "Now GLHeretic for Linux is released and the release includes the source code, too. GLHeretic for Linux is a port of Kokak's GLHeretic (win32) " I gotta bite the bullet and either get a new video card, or figure out how to accelerate my number 9. All this GL is making me GLous.

    WTF is going on here? Five comments so far and not a single one on topic. /. has certainly gone downhill recently...

    For those looking for the source code, it can be downloaded from this page.

    As far as accelerating your number nine, the simplest way is to drop it...unfortunately, you'll only get about 9.8m/s^2 out of it. Catapults, slingshots, and rockets are a little harder to set up, but well worth the effort. :)

    Disclaimer: I know nothing about number nine cards under linux, and this probably isn't funny to anyone but me and only then because it's 1am and I'm tired. :)

    GLHeretic looks GREAT, even on my crappy Riva 128ZX. The graphics are very smooth
    (only a few artifacts here and there, and that's probably my aforementioned crappy card at work),
    it runs fast, and in short, is uber-playable. Only downside is that the configuration file is weird -
    I can't figure out how to bind keys. Still, though, this is a GREAT game - now if I could only find my CD for the full WAD...

    "If ignorance is bliss, may I never be happy.
