Articles wanted

[Boo]

I'm supposed to be doing a school project on the history of game modding, but there are zero books/articles that I can find. If you know of any, please post, any help would be greatly apperciated. And you get mentioned in the bibliography/credits

(A personal account would be great too if you have a lot of knowledge on the subject but no article)

I remember doing school projects on sh|t like "The plants found in the mountains", or a book report on Grapes of Wrath.

When the hell did game modding become a point of discussion worthy of a school project?

Mayby cus he is in a school for game design?

I suggest you go out to some modding forums and get some research materials there. A good place to start would be a very good modding tutorial hub such as http://www.3dbuzz.com and start asking there.

wiki is always good.

also... after your prohject you may want to update the wiki article with whatever history you find

Given id Software's early willingness to provide source code and other necessary information and software to potential modders, David Kushner's "Masters of DooM: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture" might be a good source.
