in zdoom What dose the Z stand for

[Caligari87]

That conveniently stands for Graf Z(ahl)Doom. Worked out nicely, huh?

[Marisa the Magician]

I expected as much

[Gez]

If ZDoom had been AASHITTY, would ZDoomGL have been AASTINKY?

It's both that and GL ZDoom.

So what about the G in GZDoom?

i do believe that the g stands for gl in opengl
or something to do with opengl any way

Didn't ZDoom get the Z because it has a functioning Z-axis in its coordinates system, unlike regular DooM, thus allowing the room over room effects and other whatnot?

No.

The Z doesn't stand for anything.

That's not even correct. It already existed in Doom and is blatantly observable in a lot of places, or how else do you explain projectile collisions, the archvile attack, and most of all raised platforms.

Plot Twist: The Z is just an typo accident Randi had when was going to name the Source Port in Visual Studio (if that was used to create it, i dunno).

I always remember ZDoom GL which came before GZDoom, and it made all the graphics blurry.
