is there no sound?

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…

stoobs

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?

sgt

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.

Snoopfrogg

This is dope.

iandanforth

Crazy, such memories. Thanks!

I wish I could use CSS this well too
