Hello,

I was wondering if it's legal to use data from Doom source code in my own project.I am finishing up a mod for a game. It uses Dooms random table, you can see it here:
https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM/blob/master/linuxdoom-1.10/m_random.c
"rndtable"

Am I obligated to follow source code license and share the source of mod?
It's just a sequence of numbers, but it's still a peace of source code used for same purpose as well.

Edit: Sorry, did a mistake in title, its not a portion, its entire sequence.

Why would you do something like this In the first place, never mind if it’s legal or not?

There is Mersenne Twister support built into the C++ language. If you're stuck using C, then try this library: https://github.com/ESultanik/mtwister​​

Works good. No patent issues or whatnot.

This random number table doesn't look anything special - it's just all numbers from 0 to 255 randomly shuffled. The kind of thing you could quite trivially create yourself, in other words, and there's no reason to copy from Doom.

If you look for certain numbers, they repeat.

254 - 2
128 - 2
1 - 0
166 - 3

So the numbers are not unique in entire sequence.

Question is related to specific set of numbers in their exact order.

Thank you for the information!
