}}{{DoomWiki}}'''DOSDoom''' is the first [[source port]] of Doom, as well as the first [[Wikipedia:MS-DOS|DOS]] port of Doom after the release of the [[Doom source code]]. The initial versions were developed by [[Chi Hoang]] and the later ones by the [[DOSDoom Team]]. The port became the basis for a number of other source ports, including [[Boom]], [[Doom Legacy]] and directly continued as [[EDGE]]. It pioneered many features that other source ports would come to adopt. [[3DGE]] comes all the way back from DOSDoom, and is considered the [[purest descendant]] of the port. Because of this, its history, development, and team members are heavily documented here.

* Contrary to popular belief, DOSDoom was the first port to feature [[3D Floors]], a staple that many other ports [http://home.comcast.net/~mrrocket/doomlegacy/w3c_test3/concept.htm would soon follow].

* Chi Hoang released the initial version of DOSDoom on December 23, 1997, soon after the Doom source code came out. According to Hoang, "it took me 4-5 hours to port". Hoang left the port with 0.63.

* The final version of DOSDoom, 0.653, was released on April 10, 1999.

Later DOSDoom versions added various [[:Category:New features|new features]] including [[free look]], [[translucency]], [[jump]]ing and [[Doom Definition File|DDF scripting]].

=Features=

* Hi-Colour Mode
* Higher Resolutions (up to 1280x1024, compared to 320x200 in the original)
* 3 Levels of Translucency
* Jumping
* 180-degree turn
* user-definable gravity
* Controls Configurable in the Game
* 8-Player Support
* New gameplay options
* Mouse-look
* Radius Scripting for existing and new levels
* Music support for MP3, MOD and loads more
* CD Audio
* Overlap Map Function
* Rotate Map Function

==Notes==
The term "source port" originates from the DOSDoom release 0.2.

There is a campaign at [http://www.doomworld.com/vb/source-ports/70442-salvaging-historic-dosdoom-versions/ Doomworld] to retrieve the "lost" versions of DOSDoom, as only 3 versions (with 2 having their source released) exist.
