Quake modding

Okay kiddo, have you ever played Quake? It's a cool video game where you run around shooting monsters and bad guys. Well did you know that some really smart people figured out how to change the game and make it even cooler? That's what quake modding is all about!

Think of it like playing with LEGOs. You can take different LEGO pieces and build whatever you want with them. The same goes for Quake modding. You can take parts of the game and change them or add new things to make your own version of Quake.

For example, some people might want to make the monsters scarier or add new weapons to the game. Others might want to make new levels for the player to explore. And some people might even make their own game modes where you and your friends can compete against each other.

The best part is that you don't need to be a master programmer to do it! There are special tools that help you change the game without knowing how to write code. It's like having special LEGO pieces that let you build even cooler things.

So, Quake modding is a really fun way to use your creativity and make the game even more fun for you and your friends to play. Isn't that cool?
