Classic Doom Ported to Run Inside a PDF Document

A high school developer created DoomPDF, a playable version of the 1993 game using JavaScript embedded in a PDF file.

DoomPDF was developed by a high school student, Ading2210, who used JavaScript capabilities within the PDF format to create the port.
The game runs in Chromium-based browsers and achieves a six-color monochrome display with a frame rate of approximately 12.5 FPS.
Inputs for movement, weapons, and map controls are handled through text fields and buttons in the browser's PDF engine.
The developer compiled Doom's original C code using an older version of Emscripten targeting asm.js, overcoming limitations in modern browser PDF engines.
This project adds to the long history of unconventional Doom ports, showcasing the flexibility of the game's source code, which was released in 1997.
