"FPCDoom is a source port of Doom developed by Jim Valavanis (Jval) written in Free Pascal "

does it really count as a source port if the source is in a completely different language?

in 1999 there was a version of doom designed to add multiplayer: split screen multiplayer! on windows!

doomwiki.org/wiki/WDMP

this was built after an earlier attempt, MultDoom, which was just a modification of Doom to run multiple copies at once and use shared memory instead of a network. The performance on that wasn't good (on a 200mhz PC), so WDMP was created instead, with one process managing all 2/3/4 windows

@foone It's just ManDoom but the pain level is amped up 300%

@foone I can hear the cries of "STOP SCREENWATCHING" through the veils of time and reality

@foone @cwebber this is better than the peggle addon

@foone It's cool to see that people are using RISC-V for that instead of MIPS these days.

@foone why going througj risc-v instead of converting the C directly to Lua?

@gunstick probably because that'd be a lot harder

@foone finally… doom for men

@foone I assume ManDoom is wetware but only runs on men?
