Woof! is a continuation of MBF, the Doom source port created by Lee Killough, for modern systems.
MBF stands for "Marine's Best Friend" and is regarded by many as the successor of the Boom source port by TeamTNT. As the original engine was limited to running under MS-DOS, it has been ported to Windows by Team Eternity under the name WinMBF. Woof! is based on this porting project but has brought the code further with many bug fixes and enhancements.
If you turn the Doom logo upside down it reads "Wood" - which would be a pretty stupid name for a source port. "Woof" is just as stupid a name for a source port, but at least it contains a reference to dogs - and dogs are the Marine's Best Friend. ;-)
The Woof! source code is available at GitHub: https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/woof.
It can cloned via
git clone https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/woof.git
Compilation should be as simple as
cd woof
autoreconf -fiv
./configure
