Robloquake: Porting the Quake Engine to Roblox

SMRTR summary

RobloQuake is a full port of id Software's classic 1996 Quake engine, rewritten in Luau to run inside Roblox. It supports both original Quake game modes — single-player campaigns and competitive multiplayer — along with classic mods like Team Fortress and Capture the Flag. The project replaces Quake's software renderer and networking with Roblox-native systems while staying faithful to the original gameplay, with 825 engine functions verified against the original source code.
