Notes

Discussion on the topic can be found Here
Video can be found on WebOS-Internals youtube channel
-Keep in mind Quake does not have a "Use Key"
-You can customize Keyboard controls in the options menu but they get reset every time you start the game. Pressing some buttons will make the game think its a different button ie. i= shift j= up. This is normal as long as you know what you are pressing.

--Beta builds are avaliable at http://wdtz.org/files/sdlquake . There are no guarantees on betas, but I'll try to keep them stable, and they'll get you extra features early. Just copy it over the existing binary or run "wget http://wdtz.org/files/quake.sh -O- |/bin/sh" from terminal.
