In part 14 of Exploring the Id, we take a look at the source ports. John Carmack is an open-source advocate; with every new engine he creates, he releases the source code of the previous one. Out of thousands of project that utilize the source code, I choose only a handful to discuss in this video: Castle Totenkopf, Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch, Doom 64 EX, and the demo for the unfinished Arcade Quake. Other games utilizing the id Software engines include Chex Quest, Heretic & Hexen, Soldier of Fortune, Star Wars: Jedi Knight, and Infinity Wards very first game: Call of Duty.
