The main window The game configuration (map, skill, options) is shared among everyone running Doom Arena. A change by one person is reflected on everyone's screen. The Wad choice menu (below menu bar) selects among the PWADs and IWADs available to the Doom Arena server. If a player is missing a wad, it is automatically downloaded when they try to play. The menus contain: DOOM -> Frags, DOOM Setup, Properties, Servers, Quit Wad -> Map, Info, Contribute Help -> Doom Arena, Doom Mouse, Doom Readme, About, Announcements, Bugs/Comments The Wad -> Map menu brings up a map viewer much like you see when using Tab in Doom. Wad -> Contribute allows anyone to upload a wad to the Doom Arena server.

The Doom setup panel All the Doom key and mouse bindings. We coded a hack for Sun Doom to add mouse support.

The properties panel Mostly audio configuration for Doom Arena and Doom. Doom Arena plays movie and cartoon sound bites for certain activities. The volume of each can be separately controled.

The map viewer Pretty close to the real thing, eh?

The main window 2 Tilman, Steve, and Trev were just playing a game (Tilman is still in the game). The frag matrix shows who killed who, how many times they died, and how long the game has been running. Multiple games can be running at the same time, but only one can be organized at a time. The "Suspend" switch toggles between "just hanging out" and "ready to play". The first four players to that are ready to play (the only ones with colored names) will get into the next game when one of them clicks "Start DOOM".

The main window 3 Tilman, Steve, and Chris are playing a game. The frag matrix is live; everyone can monitor the progress of the game. Trev was in the game, but dropped out. Tilman was playing, but hasn't moved for awhile, so we assume he's taking a nap.

The about panel Click on the author's faces to see an animation of our faces getting rocketed or BFG'd.
