7 | This is my fork of [Dethrace](https://github.com/dethrace-labs/dethrace). I came across this reimplementation of the 1997 wrecking racing game Carmageddon and helped the authors with a few contributions (audio in cutscenes, FreeBSD build, PRNG). I changed the build system so that it builds with the tools at hand on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows. |

9 | When I notified the authors of Dethrace that the [BRender engine sources](https://github.com/foone/BRender-v1.3.2) (on which the Carmageddon game was based) were available, they decided to drop the custom OpenGL-based rendering engine they were using in favor of the official software renderer from 1997. This caused an objective (although hopefully temporary) quality regression and I decided to maintain my own fork at this point. |
