What's this?

K1n9_Duk3 has recreated the source code of Commander Keen 1-3, Commander Keen 4-6 and BioMenace in such a way that 100% identical executables can be compiled. And now Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement can be added to that list.

36 years ago, John Carmack and Tom Hall created Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement, the tech demo that started id Software. To celebrate this event, let's discuss the reconstructed source code. pckf.com/viewtopic.ph...

The source code of the game before it (Catacomb II) and the game that came after it (Commander Keen 1) are available. How hard can it be to combine the two to recreate the source code of Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infringement, the tech demo that started id Software?

Dik Trom en het circus is een kinderfilm van Henk van der Linden uit 1960. Bassie en Adriaan doen hun komisch acrobatennummer en de act met de stoelen als The Crocksons. En er zit een scène in van 3,5 minuut waarin Dik Trom zijn vrienden dwingt om verkleed als indiaan een pijp te roken. 😲
