Both of these are terms used in computer graphics. They describe
renderer settings in Warsow.

> - instagib

Instagib is a game mode in which you kill the enemy with a single shot
of the instagun. I guess this term is usually left untranslated.

lookspring - center view when +mlook key is released
lookstrafe - moving the mouse left-right makes you strafe (instead of turn) left-right

Features introduced ca. 1995 in the original Quake and never used by anyone. lookstrafe has also been broken in Warsow for years.
