This is Chocolate Doom’s “to do” list. Note that this is kind of an arbitrary and unstructured wish list of features and improvements. The bug tracker (http://chocolate-doom.org/bugs) has more feature requests.

• Multiplayer:
  • Use UPnP to automatically configure port forwarding for NATed networks.
  • Multiplayer options and configuration file (server name, etc)
• Improve multiplayer startup:
  • Select an IWAD automatically from the server’s game type rather than all players having to specify -iwad.
  • Send list of WADs to load instead of all clients having to specify -file.
  • Same applies to dehacked patches and wad merging parameters.
• Portability improvements:
  • Test on and fix for architectures where ((-2) >> 1) != -1
  • Use size-specific types (eg. int32_t instead of int)
  • Don’t make structure packing assumptions when loading levels.
  • Port to every OS and architecture under the sun
  • Port to Emscripten and release a web-based version.
• Video capture mode
  • Real-time recording of gameplay
  • Batch conversion of demos into videos
• Heretic/Hexen/Strife:
  • Merge r_draw.c to common version and delete duplicates
  • Heretic v1.2 emulation (if possible)
  • Hexen v1.0 emulation (if possible/necessary)
  • Strife v1.1 emulation (for demo IWAD support)
  • Screensaver mode

Crazy pie in the sky ideas:

• Automatic WAD installer - download and run TCs from a list automatically (automating the current “instructions on wiki” system).
• Textscreen interface to the Compet-N database: menu driven system to automatically download and play speedruns.
• DWANGO-like interface for finding players and setting up games.
