QCVM: Bite-sized QuakeC VM written in C
I had a huge amount of fun back in those days messing with QuakeWorld and Quake2, learned a ton of stuff.
One project was embedding a Python2 interpeter in QuakeWorld, along with a QuakeC->Python translator. The translator and the resulting Deathmatch and CTF games are here: https://github.com/barryp/qwpython
The other was embedding a JavaVM in Quake2, and instead of trying to translate the C game logic, we recreated the whole thing from scratch in an object-oriented Java fashion: https://github.com/barryp/q2java
Thanks to Carmack for opening up those old engines, that was a real education.
What are some alternatives?
q3vm - Q3VM - Single file (vm.c) bytecode virtual machine/interpreter for C-language input
qwpython - QuakeWorld dedicated server wrapped up as a Python module, QuakeC -> Python game translator
