This is my port of Quake III: Arena for iOS, running in modern resolutions including the full width of the iPhone X. I have also made a target and version for tvOS to run on Apple TV.
Features
- Tested and builds without warnings on Xcode 9.4.1.
- Runs single player campaigns at full screen and full speed on iOS
- Multiplayer support, including server browser
- MFi controller support (reccomended) and on-screen control options
- Second project target for tvOS that takes advantage of focus model and removes on-screen controls.
- Limited support for native menus of original game

You can read a lengthy blog article on how I did all this here.
This repo was based on the code from Beben III by Ronny Stiftel (more info here), ultimately derived from ioquake3. On-screen joystick code came from this repo by Brad Howe. Quake font DpQuake by Dead Pete available here. Code to query servers came from Q3ServerBrowser on GitHub by Andrea Giavatto.
