Submission + - id Software's open source engines ported to iOS and tvOS

Schnapple writes: Back in 2009 id Software put Wolfenstein 3-D and DOOM on the App Store but once iOS 11 cut off 32-bit apps they stopped working. Since their source code was published under the GPL I went in and fixed them up so they would run on modern devices, and also added game controller support and ported them to tvOS so they run on Apple TV. Then over the last year I did the same for DOOM II and Final DOOM , Quake , Quake II , Quake III: Arena , Return to Castle Wolfenstein and finally DOOM 3 . I've chronicled the adventures on my blog. I can't publish them to the App Store for obvious reasons and you'll need to provide your own copy of the game data but if anyone's interested in trying them out on Apple devices I've posted the sources to GitHub.
