“I remade the first level of Doom using JavaScript and 64 sliders”

Maybe I'm missing something, but all I see is an explanation of slider stuff and a next button (that I pressed at least 15 times). No Doom levels. Very disappointing.

It worked for me on desktop - but not on mobile.

Worked for me on iPad OS with an external keyboard

Because the entire game code is encoded in the hash fragment on the URL. So it will depend on whether your browser respects such a long URL.

[Edited to correct: not GET data, but the hash fragment.]

Which browser should we use?

It works for me on current versions of Firefox and Chrome! :) (On the desktop)

Use your arrow keys. The sliders are the graphics. You'll see once you move around a little.

this took me so long to figure out.

Don't click the blue arrow (I know the site directions say you should.)

Load the site, then use your arrow keys and space bar.

Worked for me in Chrome and Safari.

Impressive, and a lot of fun to look through what kind of creative expressions are possible with 64 sliders.

As noted in the GitHub repo, this is a new twist on the minimal creative coding environment, tixy.

It is really nice and creative. (but the title is clickbait as there is nothing doom there)

Doesn't seem to work on firefox mobile. Also breaks the back button.

I couldn't find any enemies but still very cool. Although playing it for a bit distorted my vision slightly after, like staring at a high-contrast animation.

Follow the corridor at the far right to get to some enemies! :D

Works on FF desktop (I didn't realize I had to use the arrow keys to navigate at first).

Pretty cool :)
