Doom source code is written in [C89](c.md) and is about 36000 [lines of code](loc.md) long. The original system requirements needed roughly a 30 MHz [CPU](cpu.md) and 4 MB [RAM](ram.md) as a minimum. It had 27 levels (9 of which were shareware), 8 weapons and 10 enemy types.
Doom has a [deterministic](determinism.md) [FPS](fps.md)-independent physics which allows for efficient recording of demos of its gameplay and creating [tool assisted speedruns](tas.md). Such demos can be played back in high quality while being minuscule in size and help us in many other ways, for example for verifying validity of [speedruns](speedrun.md). This is very nice and serves as an example of a well written engine (unlike later engines from the same creators, e.g. those of [Quake](quake.md) games which lacked this feature).
LOL someone created a Doom system monitor for [Unix](unix.md) systems called [psDooM](psdoom.md) where the monsters in game are the operating system [processes](process.md) and killing the monsters kills the processes.
