I wonder if we could port Valgrind or an equivalent tool to diagnostic your crash on exit.
Valgrind defines several instruction sequences for interacting with it from within the code, see <valgrind/memcheck.h> and <valgrind/valgrind.h>. That may help integrating Valgrind with the emulator.

And as usual, good job, Mrakoplaz ;)

Very nice!  I finally got this installed, and I'm impressed!  However, I did want to know a more extensive summary of the controls.  It seems I can't turn right or strafe left, and I can't open doors.
EDIT: I figured out how to open doors, what about reload?

Clickpad or Touchpad?

On the version I have, you strafe with "0" and ".". I don't know about reloading though.

My version uses Home for right strafe, so not the same one.

Cool, he finally took my advice. :)
I'll go and update, and also check if I have the latest Ndless version.

Sounds good.  I'm going to try and edit the WAD file and make it a bit better looking for calculator viewing.

While you're at it, try deleting all the sound and music data too, it will make the file much smaller. :)

Note, the original purpose of this project was, if i remember well, to load any Doom WAD file.
Which means Doom/Doom2 original levels, but also all custom levels available on the Internet.

We should be very carefull if we start supporting modified WAD files...
Because not everybody will be able (or want) to modify WAD files...

And by testing the program more and more with "light" WAD files, some bugs might progressively appear and prevent to load normal WAD files correctly.

What I'm suggesting is to still support any WAD file, but to also make WAD files optimized for Nspire usage, that are smaller and have slightly different graphics.

Well if modified WAD files are supported, the project should definitively come with a converter to stripe the unnecessary stuff from the files, then. Otherwise I think it might be best to stick to the original files.

Nice progress by the way! I hope you can get the bugs resolved and find more time soon! :)

One small issue:  When using the clickpad hardware, I can't get the game to load, but when I switch to the touchpad, everything works fine.

Alright, so I customized the WAD file for Nspire use.  I made the GUI more readable for the Nspire screen, and brightened up some things.  I increased the contrast between different objects so it's easier to see in grayscale.  The music and sound effects were also removed (although sound support via the 84+ keypad might be awesome at some point).  This saves you about .8 MB.
Please note that this is a work in progress, and I'll be making the graphics better and better over time.

Aren't the wads copyrighted? You aren't allowed to distribute them here if they are.
