#3Some funny things in there:
switch (gamemap) {
case 24: /* Secret level? */
nextmap = 4;
break;

#4For those not familiar with "Burger" Rebecca Heineman, she has a game programming resume stretching way back to the 80s at Interplay and elsewhere. Truly old-school.

Kind of out of topic, but when one changes gender at some point in their life, do you rewrite their whole wiki page saying "she" instead of "he", or should you mark the transition after the official change of name/gender only ?

How do they deal with name changes after marriage? same thing.

#7This is apparently based on the Jaguar port that id Software did in-house.
Interestingly, it seems to include a translation of Carmack's Jaguar rendering engine into C. The original was implemented in assembly for the Jaguar's proprietary RISC coprocessor. The processor's tiny instruction memory required that the renderer be split into 9 independent "phases", and that organization is preserved in the 3DO code.

Good question! Short answer: generally you refer to them as if they have always publicly identified with their current gender.
Longer answer: The overarching idea is to respect the person's wishes and stated identity. In most cases, and certainly in Rebecca Heineman's case from what I've read, she always identified as female even when she was known as Bill Heineman. So out of respect we would typically refer to her as Rebecca (or with female pronouns) no matter which part of her life we're referring to.
There could be exceptions. In some cases, a person's former gender might be directly relevant to a story. (Imagine you're writing about a person, now female, who was sent to a boy's boarding school as a child. I think, at the least, you'd perhaps need to clarify that she identified as male at that point in her life...)

Thanks for the answer ! I'm asking because the change of gender also associates with a change of name, and it kind of seems like rewriting History if ex-colleagues talk about X-woman as X-woman in the past when she was not yet X-woman but Y-guy instead. How about legal documents ? How do they handle the change of gender ? Do they do it like "X-person, Born Y-person" ?

#10Digging through the github org a bit:
"The library builds and runs for the Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, nVidia Shield, iOS, Mac OSX, MacOS, Android, OpenWatcom for MSDOS, OpenWatcom for Windows, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2013, Codewarrior for Windows, Codeblocks 13.12 for Windows, Codeblocks 13.12 for MacOSX, OUYA, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DSi and Linux." - Burgerlib[0]
I don't know why, but I find that immensely satisfying.
