PBDoom: Doom for PocketBook eInk devices

[imustafin]

Maybe some of you have seen the old video (published almost 11 years ago) of Doom being played on PocketBook 360 Plus:

 

 

If so, you might be also interested in PBDoom which is a source port of sdldoom for modern PocketBooks. Not really meant for serious playing, but still...

 

The source code is available at https://github.com/imustafin/pbdoom

 

In the following week or two, I plan to make a short video showcasing how it works in real life. Screenshots alone can't explain the experience of having an eInk display.

 

If anyone has a PocketBook and wants to take PBDoom for a spin, write in this topic or on GitHub issues. I can provide compilation instructions/executables and optimize the layout for you screen size.

 

Here is the current screenshot running on a 10" PocketBook X (1040)

Man, that e-ink refresh rate is reminding me of some of the finest 90s laptops.
