The Mastermind Behind doom.pdf
This remarkable "port" was created by developer ading.dev, who unveiled their creation on Bluesky. While Google Chrome is recommended for the optimal experience, the PDF reportedly works in other PDF readers as well, with on-screen guidance provided for setup.
How is this Sorcery Possible?
The magic behind playable Doom in a PDF lies in leveraging Javascript support within PDF readers. By utilizing Emscripten, the original C and C++ source code of Doom was translated to WebAssembly. The game was then compiled into asm.js, resulting in this astonishingly playable PDF.
