Note: This package only provides the engine, you need a valid copy of the (proprietary) game data to launch the game.
QuakeSpasm is a modern, cross-platform Quake 1 engine based on FitzQuake.
It includes support for 64 bit CPUs and custom music playback, a new sound driver, some graphical niceities, and numerous bug-fixes and other improvements.
This release of Quakespasm utilizes the SDL2 framework.
Note to snap packagers: Additionally, other snaps can consume its content via a content interface plug. Consuming snaps could use following snapcraft.yaml snippet to add the interface.
plugs: quake-engine: content: quake-engine interface: content target: $SNAP/quake-engine default-provider: quakespasm-beidl:quake-engine
Within the consuming snap the content would be exposed at "$SNAP/quake-engine", ie: /snap/the-consuming-snap/current/quake-engine /var/lib/snapd/snap/the-consuming-snap/current/quake-engine
Under certain circumstances it could be necessary to manually connect the interface, ie: snap connect the-consuming-snap:quake-engine quakespasm-beidl:quake-engine

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
Versions of Kubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) don’t include snap by default, but snap can be installed from the command line as follows:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
To install Quakespasm, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install quakespasm-beidl
