Chocolate Quake is a minimalist source port of Quake focused on preserving the original experience of version 1.09 and earlier DOS releases. Inspired by the philosophy of Chocolate Doom, this project aims for accuracy and authenticity over modern enhancements.

Chocolate Quake's aims are:

• Reproduces the behavior of Quake v1.09 (WinQuake) and earlier DOS versions with high accuracy, including original bugs and quirks.
• Input handling, rendering, and timing are designed to closely match the original experience.
• No hardware acceleration or modern visual effects.

This port is for purists: no fancy enhancements, no modern effects, just Quake as it was. If you're looking for visual upgrades or modern features, this may not be the port for you. But if you want Quake exactly as it felt in the '90s, you're in the right place.

Chocolate Quake supports external music playback in MP3, OGG, FLAC and WAV formats. To enable it:

• Create a directory named music inside your id1 game folder.
• Place your music tracks in this directory.

Tracks should follow the naming convention track02.ogg through track11.ogg, matching the original CD audio.

Chocolate Quake builds upon the work of the Quake community and open-source contributors. Special thanks to:

• QuakeSpasm Spiked - Portions of the sound and input subsystems are adapted from QuakeSpasm Spiked. Thanks to the authors for their solid groundwork.
• @arrowgent - For thorough Linux testing and valuable bug reports.
• The Chocolate Quake icon is based on graphics from the EmojiTwo project, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution International 4.0 (CC-BY-4.0), with modifications made by @fpiesche.
