I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file. PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields. doompdf.pages.dev/doom.pdf github.com/ading2210/do...

Just a reminder that I went and reprogrammed the NES version of Courier from scratch to run on modern platforms. In the process I got to add a lot of cool modern features like lighting effects, achievements, optional modern soundtrack, etc. Would mean a lot if you could wishlist it. Launching soon!
