FreeDOOMDay results.

Thanks to everyone participating in our first tryout to play doom over
our bitreich infrastructure. It worked out pretty well. In the end we
played the freedm.wad of freedoom.

Some statistics: Maximum up and down bandwidth required was 14 kbytes/s.
Maximum CPU usage here: 2% of one core.
RAM: 400 kb.

Chocolate Doom is compatible to vanilla doom. Everyone having some old
DOS doom can join in using rfcommd:

       git://bitreich.org/rfcommd

Just attach a serial2bluetooth dongle and some bluetooth dongle in your
linux machine, then use the new added filter:

       gopher://bitreich.org/1/scm/rfcommd/commit/9b77ca90e9cf4ca7cd9521e6756dc2b833cdefce.gph

This will automatically connect your serial connection to a doom server
over tcp/ip. Change it to bitreich.org and the standard port and you are
set.

Of course you can use socat from some ttyUSB0 or ttyS0 too. Nothing stops
you, but your own laziness. The possibilities are endless.

See you next time, with whatever machine you can find and which runs
DOOM!


Sincerely yours,

20h
