#BuildPropulsionLab at #DevoxxUK: @jbaruch with @yostane
summary
Doom is running in the browser by taking an existing C→.NET port, compiling the .NET runtime to WebAssembly, and fixing many runtime incompatibilities; the SFML multimedia layer is reimplemented with Canvas and Web Audio, the game loop is swapped for requestAnimationFrame instead of blocking loops, and .NET 7’s JSExport/JSImport interop ties browser JS and compiled .NET together. The build requires manual fixes for desktop-only APIs but produces a playable browser (and phone) demo hosted from a GitHub repo.
