Tim Angus' Unique Electric Guitar
Tim Angus’ Unique Electric Guitar
The first time I ever saw a 3D printer in-person was at a robotics conference for software developers in Florida. That thing printed out a tiny little model of an intricate water jug and I was in awe.
Imagine the look on my face when I woke up this morning and saw that ioquake3developer Tim Angus had designed every 3D-printed part…

Garrett M. Graff has this article for Wired about the Mirai botnet denial-of-service attack, saying that it was powered by angry Minecraft server operators and players: As the 2016 US presidential election drew near, fears began to mount that the so-called Mirai botnet might be the work of a nation-state practicing for an attack that would cripple the country as voters went to the polls.

ioquake3 Developers Working On "baseio" Game
Some of the developers behind the ioquake3 game engine that is derived from the id Tech 3 engine are working on a truly open -- all game assets / content are Creative Commons licensed -- game called baseio. Announced today on the ioquake3 blog is a call for all content creators. The baseio game they want to do is a small game using the ioquake3 engine with Creative Commons licensed content. They're already working on CC-licensed textures, weapon models, player model, etc. Animators and mapping is what needs to be done the most right now and so they're hoping some artists within the community can help. Aside from the CC-nc-by-sharealike content, the ioquake3 will obviously remain under the GPL. This Wiki page yields some additional details on the baseio ambitions. It seems like it will be another ioquake3-shooter with the only real difference to some of the other open-source games is that the game content is all under the Creative Commons. In fact, they seem to be taking some game assets from OpenArena for a starting point... It's too bad it doesn't look like they're really aiming for a unique gaming experience or anything to separate baseio from all of the other Linux/open-source first person shooters out there. It would have also been more interesting to see this as a game built atop the iodoom3 (open-source id Tech 4 engine) as right now there isn't much to show for there with that newer game engine.
When it comes to ioquake3, the open-source id Tech 3 game engine, it's almost always being used for powering a first-person shooter. However, released on Friday was a major update to an open-source multi-platform game running on ioquake3 but is not yet-another-FPS title. However, it's also arguably the oddest game to be powered by this engine that was originally designed for Quake III. Hitting my inbox on Friday night was word from the ioquake3 project of a new game update/release being powered by this widely-used open-source id Tech 3 project. The game? Turtle Arena. While I'm not exactly a gamer myself, when hearing a title of "Turtle Arena" and being powered by the ioquake3 engine, I had to check it out. It sounds like a racing game... Or is it a Quake 3 mod where you're a turtle shooting water? Or is it a race to grow turtles? It ended up being none of the above. Turtle Arena is described as "a free and open-source third-person action game" that is multiplayer-focused with different game modes, and even has split-screen arcade-style gaming support. There's also support for AI players, or rather, AI turtles. It appears that Turtle Arena is basically trying to be a game that's an open-source version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You can play Turtle Arena in LAN and Internet modes too... READ more @Phoronix
