Possibly worth noting that hadoom is not a source-port of Doom - it's
inspired by Doom's approach to level editing (2.5D), but beyond that there
isn't much cross over. For example, I use full triangulation for rendering
via OpenGL, rather than building my own rendering engine. The level format
is also different from WAD.
