Source code for Quake 2 rerelease
> Glad to see the source code released!
In case you were unaware, this is actually the source code of the rerelease of Quake II. The source code for the original Quake II has been released for many years[0], along with many of the id Software classics[1].

- Someone dropped the source code for Far Cry 1 on archive.org
- I fully support this.

What are some source codes to have read, and why?
I really enjoyed reading the Quake and Quake 2 source code, personally https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-2
- Ask HN: What piece of code/codebase blew your mind when you saw it?
-
What would you have gotten once you licensed the Quake engine in the late 90s?
Does ID provide you the full source code (as it is now on Github)?
- What was the "old," way of doing 3D graphics before shaders? (fixed function pipelines and such)
- are there tutorials for code organization for games in C?
- Interesting Halo 3 script comments.

If you license your code as GPL, and Assets as CC-BY-NC-SA, what license do you then use for the compiled binary?
There's nothing stopping your from putting your code under GPL and your assets under copyright (no permissive license) or public domain. Code and assets don't need to be under the same license. See how id did it:

O3DE
It's odd to me that when the whole Unity fiasco happened, everyone was basically looking at either Godot or Unreal, but pretty much nobody mentioned or cared for something like O3DE.
If you praise Godot for being open source a lot, then it stands to reason that you should similarly prefer O3DE as opposed to Unreal: https://github.com/o3de/o3de/blob/development/LICENSE.txt (no idea why they're going for both Apache 2 and MIT license, though) vs https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/license
Unless people just care about the options that are popular enough to warrant their attention and the features that they provide, whereas the licensing is actually a boon, rather than the main factor, given that Unreal also did some slight price increases a while later as well: https://www.unreal-university.blog/post/unreal-engine-5-pric...
Either way, it's still nice to have lots of options available regardless of the licensing details (though this kind of does fragment developers among bunches of different projects), be it Godot, O3DE, Stride, Unreal or even something like jMonkeyEngine (one of the rare Java engines/editors with 3D) or NeoAxis (that one had a cool voxel LOD solution, but performance on AMD hardware was bad).

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
03DE: Open source game engine, under Apache License 2.0, developed by Amazon and the linux foundation. Seems to work under a modular package called "gems", that you can use to pull in the functionality you need. It uses c++ as it's main language, but you can use Lua, python or visual scripting for scripting stuff. Has multiplayer built into the engine and what they call a "robust" system for open-world games. There seems to be a lot of tutorials on the site, but they aren't laid out great.
