Editing Quake (video game) (section)

====VQuake====
In late 1996, id Software released VQuake, a [[source port]] of the ''Quake'' engine to support hardware accelerated rendering on graphics cards using the [[Rendition Vérité]] chipset. Aside from the expected benefit of improved performance, VQuake offered numerous visual improvements over the original software-rendered ''Quake''. It boasted full 16-bit color, bilinear filtering (reducing pixelation), improved dynamic lighting, optional anti-aliasing, and improved source code clarity, as the improved performance finally allowed the use of gotos to be abandoned in favor of proper loop constructs. As the name implied, VQuake was a proprietary source port specifically for the Vérité; consumer 3D acceleration was in its infancy at the time, and there was no standard 3D API for the consumer market. After completing VQuake, John Carmack vowed to never write a proprietary port again, citing his frustration with Rendition's Speedy3D API.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}}
