Another sick open source reimplentation for a retro game! It seems to be a fork of XL Engine, which was discontinued in 2023. XL Engine was an open source modern engine for Star Wars: Dark Forces that offered modern resolutions, engine improvements, better mod support, etc.

Looks like I might just have to re-run through Dark Forces this May the 4th. :odysee_thinking:

I took the challenge and just built , the multiplayer-focused ZDoom fork, from source. The instructions they provide were on the spot and the process was actually simple. However, not exactly a lightweight thing; `make` took 5m31s to finish using all four cores of this 2018 CPU.

But mission accomplished - no more having to look for "repositories" or prebuilt binaries just to play a game. Now let's get some mods and start the fragging!

Давайте погрузимся в процесс и реализуем этот захватывающий проект!
