History

sfdoom contained several features that would later be rewritten in SMMU, including a console, colored lighting, start map, and basic scripting. SMMU, though not directly derived from sfdoom, was intended as a rewrite of the project, and started out initially with the same name as its forerunner.

Legacy

After SMMU development was started, sf-doom was left abandoned. The last released version was 1.21, released on February 5, 1999.
