Flexible Isometric Fallout-like Engine 2008.1 (Default branch)
Image Flexible Isometric Fallout-like Engine (FIFE) is a cross-platform 2D game creation framework. Games can be created with a combination of engine, editor tools, game specific scripts, and game content (e.g. maps, graphics, and sounds). The framework is not tied to any type of game (e.g. RTS, RPG), but instead provides a flexible platform for all of them. It supports different isometric views and a pure top-down view. Instead of full 3D flexibility, the engine focuses mainly on using high quality 2D graphics. This puts fewer demands on target platforms and also simplifies the framework and game development. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
The license has been switched from the GPL 2.0 to the LGPL 2.1 or newer. Map format and resource loading (datasets branch) have been improved. There is a vastly improved editor tool and batch object loading. There is a new (work in progress) Rio de hola demo: new maps, graphics, and sounds. Eye candy: stepless zoom (OpenGL mode only) and instance coloring and outlining.Image

QUAKE(6)							   Games Manual 							  QUAKE(6)

NAME

       quake - classic first person shooter

SYNOPSIS

       quake [WRAPPER-OPTIONS] [ENGINE-OPTIONS] [ENGINE-COMMANDS]...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the quake command.

       Quake  is  a  popular  first-person shooter game that appeared in 1996, released by iD Software.  This wrapper script will launch the Quake
       engine.	The game data needs to be installed independently using the 'game-data-packager' program, and by default it will be looked for	at
       /usr/share/games/quake.

       This  wrapper  script  accepts the two common GNU-style options to get information on the program.  Any further arguments are passed to the
       engine unmodified.  Consult the engine documentation for full details, but most engines support a syntax whereby engine switches  are  pre-
       fixed with a minus sign, and you can give console commands by prefixing with a plus sign.  See the examples section for some common cases.

OPTIONS

       These options are accepted for WRAPPER-OPTIONS in the synopsis.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.

EXAMPLES

       These are all engine dependent.

       Play the Zerstoerer mod:
	      quake -game zer

       Play a specific map using the Drake expansion:
	      quake -game drake +map sludge1

       Connect to a server for multiplayer:
	      quake +connect dm.quakeone.net:27000

AUTHOR

       This manual page, and the Quake wrapper script, were written by David Banks <amoebae@gmail.com>, for the Debian project (and may be used by
       others).  The package was based on the quake3 package by Simon McVittie.
