Inspiration Station

September 11, 2011 · by Apoorva · in

I’ve been reading a lot about John Carmack lately. The man is truly an inspiration. I’m reading his biography – Masters of Doom. Its a great read, and like all geeks, I can relate to it in many ways. Id’s major blockbusters – Wolf and Doom – are some of the first computer games I remember, making them extra special for me.

I’ve also downloaded the source code for the iOS versions of Doom Classic and Wolfenstein 3D that was released a couple of days ago. Will study it soon. John Carmack is well known for making his game engines open source, which amazes me. Also waiting for the Doom3 engine code. :)

I dug out my old Doom CD. Now time for some monster slaying!
