The legendary 1993 shooter has once again surprised with its appearance on unexpected platforms. This time, an enthusiast with the nickname ading.dev managed to run the game directly in a PDF file, adding to the already extensive list of unusual ports, which previously included devices such as the Notepad text editor or the Nintendo Alarmo smart alarm clock.
This innovative port was implemented thanks to jаvascript support in the PDF format. The developer used Emscripten to compile DOOM to asm.js, which allowed the game to work through the built-in PDF engine. Control is organized through the manipulation of text input fields, providing functionality within the document.
Now any user can play DOOM directly in PDF. To do this, you just need to open the provided link in a Chromium-based browser, such as Google Chrome. A virtual panel with keys located under the game window is used to move the character and shoot.
