Several months ago, I downloaded & played both ZDoom and JDoom.
For internet play, I have now converted to ZDaemon, which lacks the graphical sophistication, but works well over the internet. I see here ZDaemon grew out of ZDoom, but I had somewhere read (either a FAQ file, Websites, or Readme.txt's) that earlier on, ZDoom and JDoom were collaborative.
Can anyone ellaborate on Zdoom and JDoom's connected history?
- There is none! zdoom is based upon the doom source code while jdoom is a game-library for doomsday engine, that is based upon the hexen source release and originally started out as jhexen only, the original jhexen was split into the doomsday engine and the game-library jhexen, then jdoom and jheretic were added. --noctrun July 29, 2005
JDoom, excellent
editJDoom, what a fantastic programme. Totally makes Doom look pretty much up to date.
Criticism
edit- This was moved to the talk page, due to it being more a point of view, than fact.
Despite improving the original games, it does increase the minimum specifications far further than what some would believe to be sufficent.
JDoom runs rather choppily on 1.0GHz-2.0GHz machines, most likely due to errors during coding.
- I can run doomsday just fine on a amd 400 mhz with a tnt2 card at 640x480
