Wrapping up the year with December’s Homebrew NES Calendar pick: 8-Bit Xmas 2021 by #RetroUSB, the perfect NES game for the holiday season! 🎄 #NES #homebrew #nesdev #indieNES #indiegames #gamedev #ファミコン #同人ゲーム @scrobins.bsky.social @deadeye.bsky.social

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...
