A work-in-progress free and open-source replacement for the Diablo I engine. Simply import the Diablo assets, and enjoy the same old game with faster performance and modern resolutions, and first class support for mods.
We love Blizzard's popular game, Diablo. We love it so much, in fact, that we're willing to spend our precious time developing a free and open source solution for those wanting to play it on a modern computer.
Short answer, yes. We don't distribute any copyrighted game assets, which means you'll need to have a copy of Diablo to be able to play.
Here’s the delicious irony: most students know McQuarrie for his famous Physical Chemistry textbook (the one with the red cover and the terrifyingly thorough quantum section). But few realize that his Mathematical Methods is the Rosetta Stone. It’s the book he wished he could assign before teaching p-chem. It’s not a pure math text; it’s a for chemists, materials scientists, and chemical physicists who need to understand why the math works, not just that it works.
Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers by Donald A. McQuarrie is the quiet, indispensable workhorse of physical chemistry education. It’s the book you turn to at 2 AM when your quantum homework has reduced you to tears, and you whisper, “Just show me the steps one more time , but with a chemical example.” mathematics for physical chemistry donald a. mcquarrie

Here’s an interesting, critical-yet-appreciative write-up of Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers by Donald A. McQuarrie (often referred to by students as “McQuarrie’s math book” or, less accurately, as “math for physical chemistry”). If you’ve ever sat in a physical chemistry lecture and felt the world dissolve into a fog of Hermite polynomials, spherical harmonics, and Fourier transforms, you’re not alone. The standard math curriculum (calculus through differential equations) often leaves a gaping chasm between what you learned in Math 201 and what you need for a quantum mechanics problem set. Enter Donald A. McQuarrie’s Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers . It’s not a pure math text; it’s a
It won’t make you a mathematician. But it will make you a chemist who isn’t afraid of a differential equation. And for that, it deserves a permanent, coffee-stained spot on your shelf—right between Atkins’ Physical Chemistry and a half-empty vial of deuterated chloroform.
