Doom is a first person shooter game with content that is probably not suitable for young children, but is great fun for older ones.

[edit] How to install Doom bundle

This file has been compromised by a cracker. It should be removed, but I don't see the original version.

Click Doom-1.xo to download Doom. Then install as usual.

This is tested working in shipping builds, not tested with rainbow security enabled, yet.

[edit] Changing Doom to run in full screen mode

To run in full screen mode, type:

prboom -geom 1200x900

To permanently adjust Freedoom to run in full screen mode all the time, type:

cd /home/olpc/.prboom
nano prboom.cfg

This will open the freedoom configuration file in the nano text editor. Find the two lines in the file with the words:

width         640
height        480

And change them to:

width         1200
height        900

Then type ctrl-x to exit, and type y to save your changes. Now, Freedoom should run in full screen mode when you type

prboom

Edit:Starts in Full Screen after saving changes with just prboom.

[edit] Help

I installed this by downloading the .xo file and then I tried changing the graphics mode to OpenGL and now it won't start. I tried removing it and re-installing it, but it still won't start. I think my (poor choice of) settings were not reset when I did that.

Game settings (all activity settings actually) are found in your .sugar/ directory. Just remove the .sugar/default/org.laptop.doom directory to clear saved settings after you remove the activity, and then re-install.

Hint, don't try the OpenGL video mode.
