"After trying a few ports that are available, none compare to that of DoomGLES. With added 3D effects, visuals and warmer lighing, this is by far the best port available for Android."

Screenshots
Trailer (gameplay video on 1280x800 tegra Android tablet)
Controls
When the Doom Splash screen is displayed, press on the pause icon on the top-left corner. It will display the main menu. Navigate throught it with the arrows on the left. Validate with the green "check" button on the right.
In game:
Control the player movements with the virtual stick on the left part of the screen.
Control the player view by dragging one finger on the right part of the screen.
Use the cross button to fire.
Use the hand button to open doors or interact with switches.

Use the world button to see the map.
Use the pause button to display the Doom Menu.
Press the arrow icons on the doom guy face to display brightness correction & interface transparency controls.
Unzip them in /misc/Kokak/DoomGLES/
In the end, you must have a /misc/Kokak/DoomGLES/OpenGLES2 folder containing for each iwad a folder with the OpenGL data.
Same thing for the music in the /misc/Kokak/DoomGLES/OGG folder.
IWAD names have to be in lower case. If they are not, it will not work.
Run the game.
Contact me if you need more assistance (mryssen"at"gmail.com).
Multiplayer
To launch a multiplayer game, you need to know each devices IP addresses.
TCP/IP game is cross-platform (Android, Blackberry, and any other future plateform).
You need to enter the following parameters in the command line editbox in the launch window.
Your IP address is displayed above the command line.
If you are connected via wifi, this will be your LAN IP address.
network command line parameters:
-net id host1 host2 ...
id: numeric id of this device (1-4)
host1 host2...: List of IP addresses of others devices.
Example for a 2 player game starting on Doom episode 1 mission 1:
Device 1 IP address = 192.168.2.2
Device 2 IP address = 192.168.2.3
Device 1 command line= -warp 1 1 -net 1 192.168.2.3
Device 2 command line= -net 2 192.168.2.2
If the network game is too slow. Try to lower the graphics options (especially on the weakest device). You could also try some command line parameters like -extratic or -dup.
See command line parameters here: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Parameter
Please note, the multiplayer may not work correctly on some devices. For example, on Acer A500 (stock ROM), there are a lot of freezes for an unknown reason (issue in the wifi driver ?).
If you want to play through Internet, you will need your WAN IP address.
If you are connected in 3G (or 4G), the IP address in the launch window is your WAN IP. Please note the port 666 needs to be opened by your internet provider. You can change the port used by DoomGLES by using the -port command line. All clients need to use the same port.
If your are connected in wifi through a router, you will need to recover you WAN IP by visiting this site for example: http://wanip.info/
You will also need to forward the 666 port (UDP) on the LAN IP of your device. You need to do that on your wifi router.
In the future, the network multiplayer should use client/server with matchmaking.
FAQ
Q: I first launched the game. I see splash screens cycling. How do I start the game ?
A: When the Doom Splash screen is displayed, press on the cross button on the bottom-right of the screen, or the pause icon on the top-left corner. It will display the main menu. Navigate throught it with the arrows on the left. Validate with the green "check" button on the right.
If the interface icons are barely visibles, please read next FAQ entry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: The game is too dark, how can can change brightness ? I barely see the touch interface, how can I improve that ?
A: Press the arrow icons on the doom guy face to display brightness correction & interface transparency controls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: In Doom 2, I don't see the walls and floors, I and the ennemies are floating in the air.
A: You need Doom2 wad V1.9. Same thing for Doom the first, you also need Ultimate Doom V1.9
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: #@!!??!!, this is not the full game, I've paid for the full game !!!!
A: No, you paid for the engine port (months of work + support), not the data. Same thing when you buy an emulator, you pay for the emulator (= the engine), not the games it emulates (= the data) which are commercial materials you need to own.
Also, the game description on Google Play Store clearly states that:
"DoomGLES comes with Doom shareware data.
If you own (ultimate) Doom and/or Doom 2, copy the wad file (doom.wad or doom2.wad) in your device at this location: /misc/Kokak/DoomGLES/
!!! FULL GAME IWADS ARE NOT PRESENT IN THIS RELEASE !!!"
