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].

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:
