Quake 2 BSP - Quite possibly the worst format for WebGL ever

So, as hinted at by my last post lately I've been working on a Quake 2 map viewer for WebGL. I'm not as far along with it as I would have liked, but I've decided to stop developing it and move on to other formats/pursuits for various reasons that I'll get into in a bit. I'm sure the majority of you are here just to see the pretty demo, though, so without further ado:

(Linkified because trying to scrunch the viewport into the blog would make it difficult to use.)

It's certainly not perfect, but hopefully you guys like it. I would be thrilled to see someone expand on what I've done here... oh wait.

So, let's talk about why I've decided to move on from this project. This bit is gonna get rather long and technical so feel free to ignore it if subjects like binary parsing and lightmap calculations make your eyes glaze over.
