Topic: Doom

Obviously a Linux based platform isn't complete without a Doom port.  So I was thinking  port doom, then hook up a keyboard and we can allow Chumby to fulfill it's destiny of killing hell spawned demons. big_smile

Re: Doom

The source code is out there, so go for it.

I made a stab at this and got pretty far until I had to work on more important stuff (hard to believe, right?).

The approach I took was to get Nano-X running, then built nxdoom.  I got to the point where it was having some difficulty reading the WAD file, but I didn't pursue it.

With the accelerometer and the top button, this could be a blast (pun intended).

Re: Doom

No good hacking project is complete until Doom is run on it.
My wife always complains when shes sees me playing Doom on my iPod and Nintendo DS.

Re: Doom

Well, *somebody* out there should be able to do this.  It's really not all that hard.  I got it to the point of just requiring debugging in an afternoon.

Unfortunately, I'm totally swamped with Control Panel enhancements.
