This is an awesome achievement, but I can't help but notice that Quake ran smoother on my Pentium-133 PC in the 90s than it runs on my Mac M1 Pro...

Impressive. I guess this isn't only the renderer made to use CSS but also a full recreation of the engine and logic right? My guess is because a bunch of things do not behave like the original game, e.g. some buttons need to be shot instead of touched to activate, some secret doors open by touching them instead of being shot, etc.

Awesome! Harder to exit than vim.

This is the first thing I've seen on the intertubes for a /long/ time which genuinely makes me smile, thank you op.

Checked out https://cssdoom.wtf/ and loved it too, both are far lighter than current affairs. \o/

I built this recently - https://gopeek-lovat.vercel.app

It seems like this CSS Quake needs JS to run…

Amazing and impressive use of CSS. But at the same time, makes me appreciate what feat Carmack achieved 30 years ago on early Pentiums.

Nice, but the view keeps clipping out to far ahead of the map (but the character seems to still be in its original position as I can die from monsters). It snaps back in place when I shoot.

edit: both on chromium and firefox, desktop linux.

Very cool. I wonder what the limitations are? I see the dog I shot is floating in the air. Is that maybe a CSS thing or is it fixable?

I wish I could use CSS this well too

Is this a rip from https://github.com/NielsLeenheer/cssDOOM

Show HN: from the dev (who's also in here, maybe a title update) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48571117

Crazy, such memories. Thanks!

Seems like you get stuck on corners and it really doesn't like running up/down slopes, neat though.

But can it play Crysis?

Really cool experiment. A lot of jank. It would sometimes rubber band me back, movement was grid aligned in a way that made accessing the secret room challenging, and the whole tab unexpectedly crashed with no error. 5 star would play again

As someone who passionately and ardiently hates prolifiration of this set of _hacks on top of hacks_ called CSS (and CSS/JS/HTML aka Web-stack), I must say this is good and valid use case for CSS. :)

This is dope.

Doesn't work at all for me. I keep jumping around and clipping through objects, can't even leave the first room without being stuck in the doorway to the elevator.

If this is what CSS has become, it means at some point its development went the wrong way.

Every time I click in the window, the menu disappears. I tried both Firefox and Chrome.

how long does it take to develop this game?

Wow, this will be a great project for the forever-upcoming VRML /s

is there no sound?

    @media speech {
        body {
            cue-before: url(/path/to/sound.ogg);
        }
    }

Wow
