Quake's lightning gun bug explained [video]
It's QuakeC - quake's proprietary scripting language that compiled down to a file called progs.dat

I remember Carmack announcing that the scripting language for Quake will be "interpreted ANSI C". Never checked how standard he made it though.
That was back when he posted dev updates in his .plan file.

QuakeC looks like C on the surface but is a much, much simpler language. Modern dialects are quite a bit more advanced (while still targeting the same vm).
