I'm not sure if this is the appropriate list, but I thought everyone would like to know that the original DoomRL source code has been released. It is located here:

https://github.com/ChaosForge/doomrl

DoomRL is/was a popular rouge like game made in the spirit of the original Doom by id software.

Overview:

DoomRL was written using Free Pascal.

That's just awesome! Thanks for sharing.

And cue all the people in Reddit yet again reminiscing about their Turbo Pascal days. And those are the best comments :-P.

Yesterday i wrote a rendering test for light clustering with forward rendering (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MefoEXK1gUw). It has been a while since i wrote something more advanced than early 2000s stuff in terms of graphics and when it comes to Lazarus, it has been a while since i worked on non-tool stuff (although, the math stuff in the demo was from my tool package :-P).

I don't see FPC and Lazarus as lacking anything in terms of features or performance for use in high end games. Well, except perhaps runtime support for consoles, but that isn't unsolvable (and has already been done with another low key compiled language - AFAIK Remedy used D for some parts of their latest game and had to port the language's runtime to consoles).

And well, not everyone is interested in consoles anyway :-P.

There was also the original doom source code released in C, which was converted 100 percent to Delphi, and then I modified it to work with FPC... had some bugs, that were worked out.

Not sure what the difference between actual original Doom and DoomRL is

There is also Quake for delphi, and quake for fpc which I also worked on and it had some bugs, which AFAIk may have been worked out by someone

Lars,

DoomRL has nothing to do with Doom, other than borrowing the theme/setting. It's a rogue-like game or RPG in a Doom setting.

it can also be played in ASCII mode or 3D graphics...

i watched yesterday's ChaosForge stream on twitch.tv... Kornel Kisielewicz (@epyoncf) was working on the code for their new Jupiter Hell #roguelike game that is the successor to DRL (renamed from DoomRL due to legal matters)...

it was very interesting... he took some time to show how to compile DRL even though it has been like three years since it was done... he had to go for a 32bit compile because of having 32bit libraries in place... he used 32bit Lazarus to do everything once he figured out the problem... it was pretty cool, actually :)

he's also considering open sourcing the base engine used in Jupiter Hell but that's all in C stuff IIUC...

True, just thought I would mention, incase anyone had forgotten about these projects years ago.. Someone ended up forking/copying some of my work and other peoples work into GitHub projects:
