The Quake Developers mailing list is dedicated to advanced

topics and (give or take) professional issues related to

writing and programming tools and utilities for the upcoming

game "Quake" (tm) by Id Software. Quake Developers is

supposed to cover the following areas of interest:

- file formats and conversion issues,

e.g. DOOM WAD, Quake PACK, VRML files and others

- 3D map editor GUI's and implementation

- 3D rendering algorithms and related lookups,

most notably BSP trees, radiosity calculations

- implementation details of 3D renderers and engines,

e.g. discussion of algorithms, data structures

- networking and server programming issues

- implementing device drivers and supporting hardware

Note that the Quake Developers does NOT cover map editing

issues, i.e. questions related to the actual use of tools.

The "info" file including detailed posting guidelines is

available from majordomo@gamers.org. If you do not know
