OpenFrag - An Open Source FPS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-not-the-only-one dept.

OpenFrag was founded in May 2003 and aims to create an open source first person shooter with commercial grade quality. All participants are volunteers and use some of their spare time to help in the development process. The project was recently featured last month at the Finnish game exhibition XPlay 2006. Some of the project's textures have also been featured in the news at BlenderNation, it looks as if there is a promising future for these developers.

      Then please explain why they call it spaghetti code, Mr. Smartguy.

      Luckily I was born Polish!

      So it starts out ugly and then later they make the ability to speak Polish required to play it?

      This is never going to fly.

    Ramble's right, that's the very reason I 3 Apple

    You know, if you use < instead of &lt; when you want to insert a less-than symbol someplace, then your <3 ends up looking more like you're teabagging than hearting Apple.
