MPFW (2025)

MPFW is a game engine that supports Quake maps as its primary level format. Despite the game's age and the forever-active modding community, available documentation on the level format, notably through the Unofficial Quake Specifications, is mostly for Quake's betas which use a slightly different level format. The goal of the project is to eventually reach a state of compatibility throughout not only Quake's own file formats and protocols, but Quake's engine lineage (ie.: Valve Software's Source engine, id's id Tech 3, etc.).

3BUNE (2022-2025)

3BUNE is a 1-step-install chat client/server based off of the french tribune(bouchot/coincoin) system. Its backend is written in PHP and it works by storing messages in an XML file for compatibility reasons with other coincoins.

3BUNE encapsulates both a coincoin(client) and a bouchot(server), with the bouchot being written in PHP, and the coincoin being written in PHP for server-side rendering plus the client-side trinity; HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It also adds new markup features for users such as Markdown-style bolding and italicizing and server-defined welcome messages that regulars can trigger upon the arrival of someone new to the conversation.
