In the fast-paced world of technology, many groundbreaking tools and engines from the past risk being lost or forgotten. These legacy resources, however, hold immense value. They serve as a foundation for learning, innovation, and inspiration. By cataloging and sharing them, we aim to:
- Educate: Provide a comprehensive library of resources for students, hobbyists, and professionals to study and learn from.
- Preserve: Ensure that historically significant software and tools remain accessible for future generations.
- Inspire: Encourage creativity and experimentation by making these resources available to the community.
Our website is structured as a wiki-like repository, offering detailed information and resources for:
- Game Engine Source Code: Explore the inner workings of iconic engines like X-RAY, DOOM 3, Far Cry 1, and Unreal Engine 3.
- SDKs: Access software development kits such as Havok and PS4 SDKs, complete with documentation and tutorials.
- Software: Discover tools like Endorphin, which have shaped the way we create and animate.
- Plugins: A growing collection of plugins to extend the functionality of legacy tools.
Each resource is accompanied by documentation, tutorials, and examples to help you get started.
We believe in the power of open knowledge and collaboration. This project is built on the principles of:
- Accessibility: Making resources available to everyone, regardless of their background or experience level.
- Community: Encouraging contributions from users to expand and improve the repository.
- Respect: Honoring the intellectual property and legacy of the creators behind these tools.
This project thrives on community involvement. Whether you're a developer, historian, or enthusiast, you can help by:
- Submitting Resources: Share links to source code, SDKs, or software that aren't yet listed.
- Improving Documentation: Contribute tutorials, guides, or corrections to existing pages.
- Spreading the Word: Let others know about this resource so it can grow and benefit more people.
This website is intended solely for educational and historical purposes. All resources are provided in good faith, and we encourage users to respect the licenses and terms of use associated with each tool or engine.
