Quake 2 Successful Build

I initially tried installing Quake 2 from the snap store. It works, but there's no audio so I thought I'd just build a new version from source and it was a fairly easy build. I used the sources from this repo: https://github.com/yquake2/yquake2

Performance is fantastic but stick to using the OpenGL 1.4 driver as the EGL driver expects a system using EGL3.2. The EGL driver WILL work, but you will notice graphics glitches. I haven't tried the software render but there's also an OpenGL 3.2 driver that won't work properly since Panfrost is currently only up to OpenGL 3.0.

I don't recommend using this build of Quake 2 for any benchmarking. The timedemo benchmark reports some odd fps numbers like 45 fps even though you can see that it's moving at over 400 fps....crazy fast.

Following our discussion from #71 (reply in thread)
I successfully compiled it and can now play with the game.

2 little additions:

• sudo apt libcurl-dev didn't work for me, had to install libcurl4-openssl-dev instead.
• downloaded original game from GOG on my PC and copied not only baseq2 but also the sound tracks ('music' folder)

Many thanks!

Glad to hear it.
