- Using Discord's new Activities + Embedded App SDK
- Combined with Alexander Guryanov (caiiiycuk)'s fantastic js-dos project
- Powered by the old saying "If it can run Doom, it must run Doom"
It started with me just wanting to explore the new Activities & Embedded App SDK, and see what was possible. I of course then got the funny idea to see if it was possible to run Doom inside the new Discord Activities.
Using a modified version of js-dos & the original Doom (1993) files, it is pretty easy to get the fundamentals up and running inside Discord. Tweak the performance a little, and maybe add some new features using the different APIs we've just been given access to - or whatever you have in mind.
- Easy online gaming by combining Discord's API's for multiplayer instances with the networking features of js-dos.
- More streamlined, universal emulator for JS-DOS (Like Dos-Zone) with community inspiried features (eg: mods, homebrew, etc) with deep Discord community integrations (eg: Leaderboards, Server-wide / Channel specefic multiplayer)
Please note: The gif is 12 fps meanwhile, the actual performance is way better.
