Talk:ZDoom

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?

They are not related. ZDoom is based on Linux Doom and has been in development since 1998. JDoom is based on the Hexen source code (it was actually predated by JHexen), and has been in development since 2002. There has never been any collaborative development as far as I know, and the special features of the two are for the most part incompatible. Fredrik | talk 00:05, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
