Doom (activity)
|
Doom is a first person shooter game with content that is probably not suitable for young children, but is great fun for older ones.
Freedoom is a free software clone of Doom, based on improvements made to Doom's 3d engine with new maps and monsters.
How to install Doom bundle
New installation: install either Doom-2 or Doom-3, then install as usual.
If you have a previous version installed: you will need to uninstall the previous version of Doom before installing a new version. If you have problems installing, then see the log activity for hints.
Doom is tested working in shipping builds. It is not yet tested with rainbow security enabled.
Video of Doom played on the OLPC

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.
