Is it maybe possible to port the Zandronum engine for Doom on the Pandora ?
Here's some Infos:
Zandronum is a client-server multiplayer-oriented source port based on Skulltag.
Zandronum modernizes Doom, the game that changed the gaming world.
One of many features in Zandronum that modernizes
Doom, is the support of the
OpenGL renderer.
OpenGL, based from GZDoom, gives the environment a new fresh new look and also has support for 3D objects.
Additionally, Zandronum has improved
multiplayer support and
dynamic servers.
Zandronum supports up to 64 players, and clients can freely join any game servers at any time without having
to wait for the host to launch a connection - - similarly in ZDoom. Also, Zandronum has an abundance of
game modes.
Such game modes can be a simple cooperative game, invasion, deathmatch, or maybe capture the flag with four teams.
Plus, Zandronum is very
active and always moving forward. Zandronum is always active in both developments,
community events, and the games hosted on various servers. These are just some of the many features that Zandronum
continues to modernize the game that changed the gaming world.

By the way of the great possibility to play online against or with other Pandora Players :wub: ,
there are so many Modification (Mod's) or Total Conversions (TC's) we could play on the Pandora.
For example "Megaman 8-bit deathmatch" :

or many other Game modes.
I'm playing this sometimes on my PC and it would be easily to Host a Multiplayer Server with Zandorum + Doomseeker
on the PC , maybe with a Standard Password for Pandora Users so that other PC Gamers with external Mouse
and Keyboard could not join
, because of the gaming fairness .
Anyway, even the Singleplayer Mod's / TC's would be realy great on the Pandora and makes much fun.
So if a port to OpenGL-ES isn't possible or difficult, maybe a Software render Port would also be nicely ,
some Modifications and the Multiplayer should work than as well.
