Do any of you play Quake? It's a hugely popular first-person shooter game. In my ongoing quest to channel things that are popular into more educational roles, I've been wondering if the various Quake editors out there could be used to make a game that was more benign yet still fun.

Just came upon this BBC report on how architects are using Quake to let clients run around in a still-unbuilt building to get a feel for it.

I wonder if we could make a version of the North Education building this way? Or a slave ship? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Versailles?
