Tripredacus Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Another HTML5 game is available to play in your browser... DOOM!Dev Notes:https://developer.mozilla.org/media/uploads/demos/a/z/azakai/487d42c2ecc1627745a469861bd377e2/doom-on-the-web_1306727266_demo_package/details.htmlImportant! (as of 06/02/2011)The demo works well on Firefox and Safari. Works, but slowly, on Opera. Extremely slow on Chrome due to V8 issue 947.Game is here:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/doom-on-the-web/
Guest Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 It may rely upon hardware acceleration, which is only available in newer browsers like Firefox 4 and IE9. It wasn't bad on my older machine with XPx64 and FF4: 35 FPS.
Tripredacus Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 I'd better not even attempt it at work. My video card can't even handle Aero!
ROTS Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Lets see, I can get real doom, mod it so I can play via Kalleria, or even play another variant of doom via console, via Kal. Or I can even play a mod mod mod of doom, with it's own private server, or better yet upgrade my browser so I can play doom, via AKA no JavaScript 5. Can this work without Java? My understanding is that HTML 5 is meant to replace Java. Otherwise I imagine some jerk on a iphone, playing this right now.
allen2 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 As mozilla received a cease and desist letter, the game isn't avalaible anymore: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Legal/Infringement_Notices/3_June_2011
Tripredacus Posted August 13, 2013 Author Posted August 13, 2013 I'm sure id Software would have signed off on it if Mozilla just asked for permission. Too bad. Also read some interesting thing about the Doom source code release. Apparently only a Linux version was released and the DOS version couldn't be released due to some copyrighted sound driver.https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM
