Information: - Three-dimensional computer graphics (3D computer graphics, in contrast to 2D computer graphics) are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images. Such images may be stored for viewing later or displayed in real-time. - In linguistics, cognates are words that have a common etymological origin. In etymology, the "cognate" category excludes doublets and loanwords. The word "cognate" derives from the Latin noun "cognatus", which means "blood relative". - id Software LLC (formerly id Software, Inc., ; see Company name) is an American video game developer headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The company was founded on February 1, 1991, by four members of the computer company Softdisk, programmers John Carmack and John Romero, game designer Tom Hall, and artist Adrian Carmack (no relation to John Carmack). Business manager Jay Wilbur was also involved. - Catacomb 3 - D ( also known as Catacomb 3 - D : A New Dimension , Catacomb 3 - D : The Descent , and Catacombs 3 ) is the third in the Catacomb series of video games ( created by the founders of id Software ) , and the first of these games to feature 3D computer graphics . The game was originally published by Softdisk under the Gamer 's Edge label , and is a first - person shooter with a dark fantasy setting . The player takes control of the high wizard Petton Everhail , descending into the catacomb of the Towne Cemetery to defeat the evil lich Nemesis and rescue his friend Grelminar . Catacomb 3 - D is a landmark title in terms of first - person graphics . The game was released in November 1991 and is arguably the first example of the modern , character - based first - person shooter genre , or at least it was a direct ancestor to the games that popularized the genre . It was released for DOS with EGA graphics . The game introduced the concept of showing the player 's hand in the three - dimensional viewpoint , and an enhanced version of its technology was later used for the more successful and well - known Wolfenstein 3D . The game 's more primitive technological predecessor was Hovertank 3D . - Softdisk is a software and Internet company based in Shreveport, Louisiana. Founded in 1981, its original products were disk magazines (which they termed "magazettes", for "magazine on diskette"). They were affiliated and partly owned by paper magazine "Softalk" at their founding, but survived its demise. - John D. Carmack (born August 20, 1970) is an American game programmer, aerospace and virtual reality engineer. He co-founded id Software. Carmack was the lead programmer of the id video games "Commander Keen", "Wolfenstein 3D", "Doom", "Quake", "Rage" and their sequels. Carmack is best known for his innovations in 3D graphics, such as his famous Carmack's Reverse algorithm for shadow volumes, and is also a rocketry enthusiast and the founder and lead engineer of Armadillo Aerospace. In August 2013, Carmack took the position of CTO at Oculus VR, which in 2014 became a subsidiary of Facebook. - The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a "network of networks" that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing. - A disk magazine, colloquially known as a diskmag or diskzine, is a magazine that is distributed in electronic form to be read using computers. These had some popularity in the 1980s and 1990s as periodicals distributed on floppy disk, hence their name. The rise of the Internet in the late 1990s caused them to be superseded almost entirely by online publications, which are sometimes still called "diskmags" despite the lack of physical disks. - In fantasy fiction, a lich (cognate to Dutch "lijk", German "Leiche", Norse "lik", and Swedish "lik", all meaning "corpse") is a type of undead creature. Often such a creature is the result of a transformation, as a powerful magician or king striving for eternal life uses spells or rituals to bind his intellect and soul to his phylactery and thereby achieve a form of immortality. Liches are depicted as being clearly cadaverous, bodies desiccated or completely skeletal. Liches are often depicted as holding power over hordes of lesser undead creatures, using them as soldiers and servants. - 2D computer graphics is the computer-based generation of digital imagesmostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them. The word may stand for the branch of computer science that comprises such techniques, or for the models themselves. 2D computer graphics are mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional printing and drawing technologies, such as typography, cartography, technical drawing, advertising, etc. In those applications, the two-dimensional image is not just a representation of a real-world object, but an independent artifact with added semantic value; two-dimensional models are therefore preferred, because they give more direct control of the image than 3D computer graphics (whose approach is more akin to photography than to typography). Given the information above, choose from the list below the object entity that exhibits the relation 'distribution' with the subject 'catacomb 3-d'. Choices: - digital - facebook - floppy disk - internet - origin
The answer to this question is:
floppy disk
