- swlkr 15y agoY U NO GITHUB?
- ammmir 15y agowhy is there an agewall?
- daeken 15y agoEverything on Bethsoft's blog (and most (all?) of their site) is behind an agewall.
- wccrawford 15y agoI'm not sure if the source was available before. But if so, I'm wondering if anyone has compared it to the original source to see what was changed? Anything interesting? Anything major?
- stephth 15y agoyes, id software is notorious for open sourcing all their games a while after release. John Carmack took a few months break from Rage development to work on these (at least on Wolfenstein, not sure about Doom) [1], so there will definitely be substantial differences to adapt to iOS, like - I'm guessing - OpenGL-ES code and touch controls. here's a write-up from Carmack about his Wolfenstein iPhone development adventures: http://www.idsoftware.com/wolfenstein3dclassic/wolfdevelopment.htm http://www.idsoftware.com/wolfenstein3dclassic/wolfdevelopme...

- palish 15y agoDoom 3 is going to be open-source before the end of the year. I can't wait!
- smackfu 15y agoGreat little detail:"Wolfenstein was originally written in Borland C and TASM for DOS, but I had open sourced the code long ago, and there were several projects that had updated the original code to work on OpenGL and modern operating systems. " Everyone benefits from Open Source, even the original creators.
- bignoggins 15y agoDOOM doesn't compile, seems to be missing some files.
- sosuke 15y agoThey released the source code only which means no graphics or game data. I tried to download and compile immediately as well.
- bignoggins 15y agodarn, I thought it was all the assets too.
- aninteger 15y agoThis is actually old news if you read Fabien's code review pages. He has had links to the ios source on there for a while.
- terhechte 15y agoidkfa iddqd it's frightening that that's still saved deep in my brain and rapidly available.
- coderdude 15y agoDon't forget idspispopd for noclip (Doom 1). I must have typed those cheats a thousand times. If you tried using Doom cheats in Heretic you'd get the opposite effect. idkfa would strip you of all weapons and iddqd would kill you. Great addition to the game!
