+darkplaces (crossplatform Quake modification)
+
+DarkPlaces is a gameplay modification and a source port engine based on the 
+computer game Quake.  It adds enhanced network code, with asynchronous delta 
+compression, a built in server browser, real-time lighting, and bump mapping.
+It makes use of the OpenGL Shading Language and supports Ogg Vorbis.
+
+By default the binaries will not be built from source, we will instead use 
+the supplied binaries.  if you wish to build your own binaries from source 
+them pass SOURCE=yes to the build.  
+
+Also the darkplaces game modifications are disabled by default to maintain 
+that "classic" look of the original quake.  To enable the modifications, 
+pass DPMOD=YES to the build.
+
+*NOTE* DarkPlaces is only a game engine modification; you still need the 
+original quake *.pak game files to play quake.  See README.SLACKWARE for
+more information on this.

+To extract .pak files from Quake, see Section (2.1 Getting Started) of:
+  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Quake-HOWTO/#ss2.1
+
+Once the pak files are extracted, copy them to /usr/share/games/darkplaces/id1
+
+If you don't own the game, you can use the "darkplaces_shareware_data" package 
+available at SlackBuilds.org.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
