Today I had one of those moments when while working I opened some random link from a Twitter post that seemed interesting. What I saw literally blew me away.
The screenshot above shows a clip from a Channel9 video posted on Adam Kinneys blog, yes you’re seeing the original Quake but what's really impressive is that its running inside a browser using Silverlight 2!
Wow, thats just freaking cool. So the credit here goes to Julien Frelat, a 31-year old French developer with experience in game development who ported the Quake engine to C# and then rendered its UI using Silverlight 2 with simple use of images.
In the video if I caught it correctly the game is running at around 14 FPS, which seems plenty for the original Quake. I cannot wait to try this myself when its finally released as its currently not published.
To see the video and a lot more info visit the original post for yourself:
