@matthewdeaves matthewdeaves released this 04 Jun 16:38

Live Apple Watch tactical-computer support for the old-Mac yquake2 port.

New

  • watchlink (src/client/cl_watchlink.c) — a cvar-gated UDP/JSON feed of the marine's live state: health, armor, ammo, current weapon, powerups, pickups, damage, the full carried inventory, and a silent mirror of the F1 help-computer objectives (location / kills / goals / secrets). An iPhone relays it over the LAN to an Apple Watch, turning the wrist into Quake II's in-fiction help computer with damage haptics and event sounds.

Verified

  • DMG content-verified byte-for-byte vs source (Tiger-built, mounts Panther→modern).
  • DMG-installed + smoke-tested on the G4 mini (Tiger, Radeon 9200): world rendered, 36.8 fps.

One fat image (ppc750 + ppc7400 + ppc970 + x86_64) installs on every supported Mac, G3 Panther through modern Intel.
