卡马克

约翰·卡马克 (John Carmack, b. 1970) is the legendary programmer behind 《毁灭战士》 (Doom, 1993) and 《雷神之锤》 (Quake, 1996), which pioneered real-time 3D rendering on PCs. Later CTO at Oculus VR. The word also appears in 托卡马克 (tuōkǎmǎkè) — "tokamak," the Russian-origin doughnut-shaped fusion reactor — which is a different concept entirely.

Three-syllable transliteration: 卡 (kǎ) ≈ "Car-", 马 (mǎ) ≈ "-ma-", 克 (kè) ≈ "-ck." 卡 is the standard "Car-/Ka-" character (卡尔 Carl, 卡特 Carter); 克 is the standard hard-stop final.
