Timothée Besset (also known as TTimo) is a French software programmer, best known for supporting Linux, as well as some Macintosh, ports of id Software's products. He was involved with the game ports of various id properties through the 2000s, starting with Quake III Arena.[2] Since the development of Doom 3 he was also in charge of the multiplayer network code and various aspects of game coding for id,[3] a role which had him heavily involved in the development of their online game QuakeLive. Since departing id in January 2012 he has worked as a software contractor, including for Valve Software.
He has been occasionally called "zerowing", but he has never gone by that name himself. It is derived from the community oriented system zerowing.idsoftware.com, of which the Linux port pages were the most prominent. The system was actually named by Christian Antkow based on the Zero Wing meme.[4]
