Editing Freaks!

'''Freaks!''' is a game created by the [[:wikipedia:Spain|Spanish]] developer [https://triptico.com/software/attic.html Triptico] first released in 1993 for [[:wikipedia:MS DOS|MS DOS]], lead by Ángel Ortega and released under the banner of [[:wikipedia:H. P. Lovecraft|Lovecraft]] Dreams. Although inspired by ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'' and its [[:wikipedia:Ray_casting#Wolfenstein_3D|raycasting]] engine, it is functionally more similar to the ''[[Catacomb 3D]]'' games, featuring dark fantasy themes and a magician as a protagonist. The original DOS version only allows turns of ninety degrees, somewhat similar to grid-based dungeon crawler games such as ''[[:wikipedia:Dungeon Master (video game)|Dungeon Master]]''. A re-write was released in 2002 using their own [https://triptico.com/software/qdgdf.html QDGDF] library and added in free turns, new environmental effects, and support for [[:wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]] and [[:wikipedia:Linux|Linux]], although bugs remain. They also released the first-person puzzle game ''[[Space Plumber]]'' in 1997 published by StRAtOS. The source code for both is available, with both stated to be in the public domain.
