Quake 3 + iPod Touch

So we've been playing around with Quake 3 and Apple's iPod Touch. Scott grabbed the icculus source and with a few modifications had it running pretty quick. Here's a video of him with two iPod Touch's in multiplayer.

id Software released Q3 as Open Source long time ago. Thoough you would need to use 3rd party maps+gfx, but there are tons of projects out there creating alternative media for Q3.

lobo said...

Hi, is it possible to have at least a patch file for the icculus source ? :)

it would be great, really

or if you're planning to package all the stuff, we wait silently :)

nice job, btw

Totally agree, they seem to be just videos.
And he is simulating shooting and moving.
Just pay attention, i dont think the accelerometer can work that sensitive.

It sure as hell can! Take a look at this game. It proves pretty well just how sensitive the accelerometer is:

Anyway, I'd love to have this on my iPhone! Please, please, please!

fudged71 said...

if you can get this on the ModMyiFone.com source, that would be incredible.
This is seriously astounding work. Don't put onscreen controls... this looks great. The accelerometer works well. Try to put in an option for accelerometer sensitivity, though. There are some apps with a very wide range of sensitivity, and it can get annoying if it isn't feeling right.

But honestly, if you have the ability, please make this a free public release, with donations. This is looking to be the best app for the iTouch yet!

bitzaros_uk said...

Excellent work!!! I suggest you use the same control system that games like iPac3D or Yeti3D uses,(www.iphonecake.com) and it would
be even more playable!

Keep up the good work!

Leo said...

Nice sync with movements and video. Can't believe it's true without a better evidence. The hands moving isn't perfectly sync with the video, but nice video anyway... You must have spent a lot of time training!

Arnd said...

This is way Cool. I would love to run it on my iPhone!

Juan Carlos said...

Why wouldn't you belive it's true?

The iPhone has a 400MHz processor with 128Mb RAM, with of course, a much much lighter OS than any OS we're used to see in any Computer... If ScummVM works and emules games like DOTT or Full Throttle, I don't see why it wouldn't be able to run a game like Quake 3


The only thing though is that I'm not sure how it would work to DL it with the installer, since it wouldn't fit in the 300Mb partition, maybe download a 1Mb app that would download the rest of the game to the Media drive?

Good job anyways on this guys, I'm looking forward to see this game in the Installer.app

cooter said...

actually iphone processor is 600 mhz.
As for the accelerometer, of course it is this sensitive. All you to do see EA's game vide, unless haters think they were faking their live demos as well.

Either way, this will be moot argument in 2 months when iPhone OS 2.0 is out.

Samson said...

OMG please please please release this! i want quake 3 so bad! i dont care what you charge just please release it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait any longer i must play quake 3 on my iphone in school for the rest of the year! it sounds so fun!

tamarok said...

Would consider posting the modified source online? Maybe hosting it a SourceForge or some other similar site.

Nobody is expecting a quality build, but at least something hackers could start playing with.

Have you had any feedback from Carmack?

Andreas said...

Hi

Great effort guys, I would love this on my iPhone like everyone else. Is there anything stoping you from releasing this or are you awaiting commercial launch of your own game?

Cheers

Kailuss said...

LA REOSTIA !!!

Don't forget to implement a accelerometer calibration. Please.

fudged71 said...

accellerometer calibration? what for?

they are permanently calibrated... all they need is an option for sensitivity !
