jmarshall23 have ported glQuake to WP8 platform (check http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wphowto/thread/1e3e54fa-bcab-4f8f-ad83-61ef88a4ad91) but I can't build his sources.
Could anybody with experience try to compile?

That's awesome. Hopefully he updates it again to get the 'bugs' worked out and the map selection working.

It wasn't a bug but my mistake Changing build profile to the "ARM" solved the issue. So if anybody wanna try, just download xap from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kbf9734ih8hthp9/Quake_Debug_ARM.xap
(I can't test now 'cause Q&A took my WP8 developer's handset)

P.S. I can't find original pak's from Quake (also, they still protected by copyright) so I've added open source, non-original paks. May be, app will not work with these paks but you may replace 'em by original in the xap.

Nice!

I deployed it to my lumia and it looks like the original pak might be needed. Did you specify the map to be loaded? That could be it as well.

I attached a screenshot.


EDIT: I took a look at the autoexec.cfg in the xap and its blank. I'm trying to find a map name to enter now..

I replaced pak0 and pak1 and get to the main screen with a demo playing. Assume I just need to get a map name now.

Standard Quake 1 map names are: E1M1, E1M2 etc.
Try to add line: map e1m1 to autoexec.cfg

That worked. It loads the map but the on screen controls aren't where they should be. I can only find one of the buttons.

The new xap loads the demo now. Just need to set the autoexec to a map, I was able to do that with the last xap.

BTW - I'm Rygot msdn.

I already realized that But (of course!) I prefer xda-dev forums - MSDN engine has a stupid and poor formatting...
P.S. Please tell me how screen controls appear in new xap. I've added different screen size detection algorithm to his code.

It seems to be the same. The only button I can find is what appears to be the left arrow. Added two screenshots if it helps.

Hmm, I don't understand... Are those pics your actual screenshots? The second screenshot has both controls, same as on youtube video. What do you expect?

When you press where the controls are, they don't do anything. I would expect them to work. The only spot on the screen where I can find something that works is on the Right arrow > But when I press the Right arrow, it acts like I press the Left arrow <

This leads me to believe the actual areas of the controls do not match up with the onscreen buttons.

Could you try now (re-download and re-deploy)?
P.S. I've already added "map e1m1" to autoexec.cfg

None of them work now. The previous spot that worked is no longer there either.

Same result as last time. I tried the whole screen and didn't get any response.
