Duke Nukem 3D Code Review

Posted by timothy on Tuesday February 19, 2013 @04:25AM from the much-faster-than-the-game-itself dept.

alancronin writes "Similar to Fabien Sanglard's previous code reviews of other games such as the Quake and Doom line of games comes a review of the code base of Duke Nukem 3D (split out over 4 pages). This will be a very good read for anyone interested in understanding the mechanics of a highly addictive game or anyone that wants to learn more about game design."

The difference is most CS prof's don't program for the real world and would get a F if they tried.

The engine was written by an 18 year old. You've got to forgive the lack of college CS education and work experience, and marvel at the talent to actually make the best featured and performing 3D game engine of it's day.
