[Mono-list] Quake 2 ported to .net, can it be ported to mono C#?

[Cesar Mello]

Hi Joeri!

The code is plain C, compiled with the MS C++ compiler targeting the 
CLR. As there is no C compiler for Mono yet, the code would need to be 
ported to C#. That would be a big rewrite and wouldn't be easy, but it 
would be really great if someone do this. It would be a very nice benchmark.

The drawing code is implemented with native calls to DirectDraw, but it 
could be ported to xlib or something faster. This wouldn't be difficult.

Best regards,
Cesar
