Here it is, DOOM's source code released for non-profit use. You still need DOOM to work with this code. If you're a freeloader, you should still be able to buy it. Thanks to Big Bern for cleaning it and making sure it works. Shit tends to rot if you leave it for years.

Bad news: the code only works on linux. We can't release the DOS code because of a copyrighted sound library (wow, way to go, dumbass). I wrote this shit a long time ago, there's plenty of things that seem silly (polar coordinates for clipping? the fuck was i thinking?), but it should still be a useful base I guess.

Some project ideas:

* Port it to your favorite operating system. Yes, you can port it to a Commodore if you want, good luck with it, chump.

* Add some features -- transparency, look up/down, slopes, jumping, ducking, pounding, flying, pissing, etc.

Just don't use the engine for trivialities. A nerd just asked me if he could mod doom to "create a sailor moon mod". sailor moon? the fuck is that? I do not recommend using the engine for roleplaying (don't ask; people don't follow rules these days, even if you insist on not playing with ancient evils and obscure magic). Oh and yeah, cyber-sex in the doom engine? Absolutely forbidden. The complexity and dynamics involving the rendering and texturing of 2.5 geometry using a bsp tree weren't precisely made to project a voluptuous female on a crt screen. You can't engage in sexual physicality with a monitor screen, that's not how it works you ugly ass.

I don't care how many people are going to be playing with this outdated mess, I know most early projects are ugly hacks like the Barney one (I could draw a better dinosaur when I was four years old), but I would be happy to see an actual worthy version of DOOM next year.

Have fun, bitches. Peace.
