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 options and configuration file (server name, etc)
- Use UPnP to automatically configure port forwarding for NATed

- 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.
- Select an IWAD automatically from the server’s game type rather than
- Portability improvements:

((-2) >> 1) != -1 - Use size-specific types (eg.
int32_tinstead 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.
- Test on and fix for architectures where
- Video capture mode

Crazy pie in the sky ideas:

(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.
