Duke Nukem 3d source is GPLed
« on: April 03, 2003, 08:49:07 PM »
It seems that 3dRealms have released the source code for Duke Nuken 3d into GPL. Any coders out there have some free time?

Interesting, Duke Nukem3D was an awesome game. I doubt we will see a conversion though. All the serious coders left in the platform are either working on OS4, MOS or one of the few application packages. AVP never did make an appearance :-(

I think that we will see it once it is ported to SDL/Linux... they already have adapted a 75% of it.
Many people like this game and there were even level renderers for Amiga so I'm sure that someone will port it from Linux.

BTW AlienVersusPredator isn't even ported to Linux... once it is finished for Linux we may see it...

AFAIK a french guy made a petition 2-3 years ago and sent it to 3d realms but his site was not updated for long time.
The name was david berrault, something like that. Its a shame it did not work at that time !!

Once any game has been ported to SDL it becomes really easy to port it across any platform...

Any platform that supports SDL, that is  :-D (which is most of them, though I've not see a C64 DI yet)

Great!
DN3D should be playable on most 50 MHz w. FPU systems out there...
A little late, but still great news.

It was certainly playable on a 060/66 running under ShapeShifter.

Actually, most of these games use plain framebuffer graphics and are relatively easy to port *but* the endian conflicts is what makes things so problematic. I wouldn't be afraid of the assembler or the system-specific parts (its a dos game after all), but the endian conflicts tend to pop up at the most unexpected places and have always been a pain in the to correct.
