+This is Ork on DK and today on HPR I present my first brush with floss, Doom.
+My first encounter with free software though I don't think I realised it at the time, was
+not with Firefox or Linux, but with something quite different.
+In 1994 it's software released the game Doom onto the world, dominating the PC gaming
+scene so much that every first-person shooter, as we would call them now, were labeled
+Doom clones.
+I love the game in its sequel, along with several games which use the same engine
+such as Heretic, Hexen and Strife.
+I vividly remember playing the shareware version on my first PC, loving it despite the long
+load times with it installed on our 100 Meg's Cypress take drive.
+In 1997, after id software had produced their next generation engine for the game Quake,
+the source code for Doom's engine was released, first under a not-for-profit license, then
+later relicense under the GPL.
+The code that was released was for the Linux version of the game, so the first project
+was to port it back to DOS, and this was called unsurprisingly DOS Doom.
+It was the first of many so-called source ports, which would take the code and port it to
+other platforms such as the Amiga, BSD, all sorts of handheld machines, even cameras and
+iPods.
+The term source port stays even when it refers to a version for its traditional hardware,
+albeit with support for higher resolutions looking up and down etc.
+The Doom engine was already very modern friendly, with a massive fanbase, designing levels
+for the game, but the source code release allowed much more to be done and improved.
+Similar to the world of Linux distributions, the Doom community developed many different
+approaches to adding to the original Doom code.
+Boom and PR Boom concentrated on removing limitations from the engine, which were no longer
+needed on modern hardware.
+Others such as ZDAMON opened up the multiplayer code to work similar to Quake, letting players
+jump in and out of a dedicated server.
+Doom legacy and the Doom's day engine had all sorts of effects, such as dynamic and
+coloured lighting, particle effects and support for 3D models to replace the sprite-based
+enemies.
+Heritage and Hexen, games which used Doom's engine, had their source code released, it
+was merged into many of the Doom projects, not only rejuvenating the experience and playing
+these games, but also allowing makers of Doom mods and maps access to the enhanced abilities
+of in particular Hexen, which had a powerful scripting system.
+While the source code for Doom was released, the art assets were not, which led to projects
+by the community to create a free set of levels, graphics and sounds.
+The Free Doom project contains complete replacement art assets and levels under a free license.
+It is not complete yet, and they always need help with new graphics and sounds.
+Not all source ports are under the GPL, due to the initial release of the code under
+another license.
+The Free Doom site recommends PR Boom, Odamex and Remood, as they are GPL, Multi-platform
+and can handle unlimited level design.
+Another popular GPL source port is Chocolate Doom, designed to be as close to vanilla Doom
+as possible, while running on modern hardware.
+Free Doom with PR Boom is available in the Ubuntu repositories, as is Chocolate Doom, but
+if you want to play the original game, you'll need to provide the data file yourself, either
+the full version or the shareware demo.
+All you need is the main.ward file.
+Chocolate Doom, Doom 2 and Final Doom are all available on Steam, but it would be great
+if stores like the Ubuntu Software Center and Dezura could provide the what files.
+It's software continue to release their old engines under the GPL, and even after being
+acquired by Tenimax, they did the same with Doom 3.
+Most of today's open source shooters like Nexus and Open Arena are based on the Cray
+engines.
+It is remarkable that games like Doom and Cray can still be enclaed, developed and
+enjoyed 15 years on.
+I have barely scratched the service here, so I recommend checking out Doomworld.com as
+the main community site, and Doomwiki.org for more info.
