Collision detection in Quake
Author
How does collision detection in quake 1 work ? I''ve checked out the sources and looks like it uses convex hulls for this. Or something like that. And most quake clones basically just copied the original quake source for this. I was hoping that quake used solid leaf bsp trees, guess if i was dissapointed. So how exactly does it work?
It does use solid-leaf BSPs, just it uses several copies of it. Each copy is for a particular sized box (16x16,32x32,64x64 I think). You just decide which size you need and clip the displacment line against the given tree.
I could be wrong in this, it''s been a while since I read the Q1 source.

None, they just declare drakness as a new standard.

Both the Quake1 and the Quake2 engine sources are available under the GPL, and have been for quite some time.
