Welcome to your Doom in a browser
Ported directly to Flash 10 thanks to Adobe's Alchemy, which allows coders to compile C and C++ into their Actionscript creations, Doom may now be shot up in the browser.
Author "Mike" from Newsgrounds offers few clues as to how he went about it, but it works well enough: it's like having a 133Mhz Pentium all over again!
Though it includes only the shareware portion of the game, it's high time Flash, given its ubiquity, started making progress on the pretty-pictures front—anyone familiar with the Unity browser plug-in knows that there's no technical reason browser games can't serve up high-performance visuals.
