is there no sound?

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

Wow

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

Awesome! Harder to exit than vim.

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.

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

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

It seems like this CSS Quake needs JS to run…

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

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. :)

how long does it take to develop this game?

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?

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

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

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.

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/

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

This is dope.

Crazy, such memories. Thanks!

I wish I could use CSS this well too

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

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.

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...

But can it play Crysis?

lol that's crazy. Good job.

this is crazy i didn't know css could do this

I still play quake (world) to this day. I just can't quit it.

Wow, this is impressive. 60FPS, MacBook Air M1. I was instantly hooked and so much nostalgia.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should

No light theme though?

After leaving the first area to the bridge... was the sky really so close to the ground in the original game, or the old monitors made it look differently?

Also nice achievement...!
