Around these parts, I would definitely consider Plagman more important than some lame holiday to get drunk on.

Or he was just full of crap and didn't know what he was talking about. Especially since Build uses Sector Portals and Doom uses BSD Trees. They are completely different methods of rendering. They are similar in the fact that the both end up drawing images on the screen eventually though.


I might be wrong but. Are you sure you´re not confusing Doom with Quake? Ken Silverman (who made Build) designed a sector based engine thanks to a phone call he made to John Carmack (Who made Doom engine) and he gave him the idea. So both engines share the same concept. That´s totally different than saying they have code in common, or that one is based in the other one.

The BSP trees system is what Quake Engine uses.

Agree! While I don't think my comp will run it (intel 945 mobile), Plagman gave the world Polymer. Isn't that worth celebrating him :lol:

You're right about the Quake engine, but the original Doom engine also relies on BSP trees for its visibility checks. They're both based around sectors, but their implementation is way different.
