Fun fact: two of the biggest source ports for the classic ID Software games Doom and Quake were developed by trans women. Darkplaces for Quake by Ashley "Ladyhavoc" Hale and Zdoom by Marisa Heit.
To explain: The source code for most of ID Software's old games and engines including the Doom and Quake games are open source, which means that fans can use it to create ports for these old games that run natively on modern systems, including both Windows and native Linux support and enhancements that take advantage of modern hardware. They also enable you to run modern mods and level packs, like the memetic Darkplaces.wad that uses a derivative of Zdoom. Pretty nifty if you want some 90s shooter action. And you can thank trans women programmers when you do.
