I laughed at myself when I recognized this text art right away.  It's 
been a few years...

Heh, nice.

I've only ever played Q2, so... ;-)

How about Quake implemented *in* Haskell? ;-)

I could go grab a sandwich while it renders the next frame. Awesome!

Really? And what makes you think that? OpenGL with hardware acceleration 
is equally fast if you call it from C or Haskell. :-P

The original quake was not OpenGL... :) Though, they did release GLQuake.

And, isn't Haskell like an order of magnitude slower than ... just about 
everything else?

You're probably right. I never saw it. (I only saw Quake II. For that 
matter, I've never seen Quake III, although I'm told it exists.)

Of course, nobody has ever implemented Quake in Haskell. But they *have* 
successfully implemented Doom. (And it loads original Doom "WAD" files.)

I actually can't decide whether you're being serious or not...

Wow.. heh

I think they implemented Quake in C++.net at one point.

Mmm, mostly not serious. :D

  Given that Quake was already implemented in C++, what would the .net
part bring to it?
