How It Works

DOOM runs as WebAssembly compiled from doomgeneric. Each frame is rendered using half-block characters (▀) with 24-bit color, where the top pixel is the foreground color and the bottom pixel is the background color.

The WASM module and shareware WAD are bundled in the repo, so there are no external dependencies.
