 == Early History ==
-DOSDoom began development in 1997, initially by [[Chi Hoang]] and coined the term source-port. [[Andy Baker (darkknight)]] was a frequent collaborator, and soon amassed a team of developers known as the {{3dgewiki|DOSDoom_Team|DOSDoom Team|linkonly=1}}. The entirety of the DOSDoom team began developing pioneering systems that other ports did not have at the time, including [[DDF]] and [[RTS]] scripting languages - the first such human-readable systems for DOOM. It is worth noting that the scripting systems were wholly different from [[DeHacked]] at the time because they did not need to modify the executable directly, and were split into several different files that could control much more at a granular level than DeHacked ever could. The {{3dgewiki|DOSDoom_Team|DOSDoom Team|linkonly=1}} consisted of Hoang, Baker, [[Erik Sandberg]], [[Kester Maddock]], [[Martin Howe]], [[John Cole]] and [[David Leatherdale]].

The [[DOSDoom Team]] consisted of Hoang, Baker, [[Erik Sandberg]], [[Kester Maddock]], [[Martin Howe]], [[John Cole]] and [[David Leatherdale]].
 Into 1998, the community was ripe with the emergence of other source-ports, including [[ZDoom]], [[Doom Legacy]], [[Boom]], as well as the first [[Wikipedia:OpenGL|OpenGL]] accelerated engine, [[glDoom]]. glDoom especially made an impact on the team into 1999 as OpenGL was seen as a major advancement at the time - this would be highly influential later in development. DOSDoom continued to be a major powerhouse for modders well into development of EDGE.
-In mid 1998, [[TeamTNT]] discussed with the {{3dgewiki|DOSDoom_Team|DOSDoom Team|linkonly=1}} about merging their project, [[OGRE]], directly into [[DOSDoom]]. The collaboration was announced in late 1998 and generated much interest as TeamTNT previously developed another ground-breaking port named [[BOOM]]; discussions were even joined by the inclusion of [[John Carmack]]. However, difficulties ensued for all parties and the project was abandoned. OGRE was quite possibly the progenitor of [[EDGE]] as several of the ideas both teams wanted to do was further realized with the development of EDGE. The failed merger didn't affect DOSDoom's ultimate standing and the port continued to be popular; though, possibly as a result of the planned/failed merger of DOSDoom and OGRE, Hoang left the DOSDoom Team and the DOOM community after v0.63 was released, followed by other DOSDoom members.

 In early 1999, several more source-ports were released, all offering their own features. [[3D floor]]s were pioneered with DOSDoom which generated much interest, but the DOSDoom Team began rifting as some members left the community altogether, or joined different projects. Andrew Baker and his team devised that a re-haul of DOSDoom was inevitable; the primary motivation being that the port was no longer limited to the DOS operating system.
-It was also around this time that [[Andrew Apted]] had joined the team; it was decided that the DOSDoom name would change to better reflect its status as the most advanced 3D source-port of its time. *{{3dgewiki|TADE|TADE|linkonly=1}} was seen as a possible name before the team ultimately settled on EDGE; the port was in development before DOSDoom saw its final public release.

 DOSDoom v0.653 was released in April 10, 1999, which would be its final version. The surviving members of the DOSDoom Team [Baker, Erik Sandberg, and David Leatherdale], with Andrew Apted, immediately formed the EDGE team from the existing code-base.

 The most attractive feature of EDGE is its [[DDF]] system. DDF describes all game behavior inside text files external to the executable file.  As a result, it is popular among modders who use the extensibility to add many new weapons and features with many fewer of the limits present in other source ports. With DDF, for example, it is possible to create monsters which can possess multiple missile and melee attacks, or create custom pain and death states for monsters when hit by specific weapons or projectiles.
-EDGE includes ports to many popular operating systems, including MS-DOS, Windows, Linux, BeOS and Mac OS X. It has both [[software]]-rendered and [[OpenGL]] hardware-accelerated versions; as of version 1.29 beta 1 and beyond, however, it no longer updates support for the software mode, as the team decided that working on two separate versions of the same port was too time consuming.

 The former EDGE team consisted of [[Andrew Apted]] and [[Andy Baker (darkknight)]] as the primary developers, and [[Marc A. Pullen (Fanatic)]] and [[Luke Brennan (Lobo)]] as distributors/promoters. However, there were many [[EDGE Contributors]].
