Could it be Q++ Perhaps ...
No, actually, I could only guess that it's "C++" but , Hey all you Software Gurus, how 'bout helpin' us out here, what is the source used for writing this OpenGL stuff?
We'll get to the bottom of this !!

I really don't think you can do that with C++, I know C++ and it doesn't come close to having a GUI that performs like that. maybe it's Visual C++? don't know still.

Felix,
Here's a link that might shed some light on the subject.
"Quake C is a programming language which John Carmack developed expressly for use with Quake"
Perhaps it can lead you to some others too.
(I wasn't 'too' far off with my Q++ remark)
