A pure Java Doom source port with classic (vanilla) and modern key controls ☕🍦:suspect:

Vanilla Mocha Doom

Mocha Doom is a pure Java Doom source port. Most of the hard work of porting Doom to Java has already been done, thanks to Velktron (Maes) (see Programming tricks for technical details), but he has stopped working on it in 2013.

Although the port is almost complete and many bugs have been fixed by contributors, some work remains to do, most importantly the network code for the multiplayer is missing.

This fork of Mocha Doom is intended to support the classic (vanilla) key controls, fix some bugs, and provide some pre-compiled binaries and startup scripts for convenience.

Download

You can find the latest distribution package under the releases link.

Mocha Doom can play original variants of Doom. If you don't own any, the easiest way to obtain them is to purchase them from Steam or GOG. You may also download the freely distributable Shareware version of Doom (also included in this repository) from one of the following links:

• http://cdn.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/d/doom-wad-shareware/doom-wad-shareware_1.9.fixed.orig.tar.gz (extract it and copy the DOOM1.WAD file into your Mocha Doom directory).
• https://distro.ibiblio.org/slitaz/sources/packages/d/doom1.wad

How to run

1. Mocha Doom requires Java, so first of all make sure you have installed Java and please make sure PATH, or JAVA_HOME environment variables point to that installation.

2. Download the latest release (or build a JAR file).

3. Once you have the JAR file, you can run Mocha Doom with one of the following batch/scripts/commands. Each script has a classic and modern version which launches Doom with classic or modern key controls, respectively.

   • Linux
     • mochadoom.sh
     • mochadoom-classic.sh
     • mochadoom-modern.sh
   • Windows
     • mochadoom.bat
     • mochadoom-classic.bat
     • mochadoom-modern.bat
   • Platform independent
     • java -jar mochadoom.jar
     • java -jar mochadoom.jar -config classic.cfg mochadoom.cfg
     • java -jar mochadoom.jar -config modern.cfg mochadoom.cfg

   Mocha Doom tries to find a valid Doom WAD file in the directory defined by the DOOMWADDIR environment variable (defaults to the current directory).

   If it is not found, you can use the -iwad parameter to provide a valid WAD file, e.g.:

   mochadoom -iwad wads/DOOM1.WAD.

Configuration

Check CONFIG.md for more options to tune rendering speed and quality of Mocha Doom.

Doom with classic or modern key controls

You can use classic.cfg (default) configuration in order to have the old-school classic key controls (i.e. arrow keys). If you prefere the modern keyboard/mouse layout (WASD), use the modern.cfg configuration. If no configuration is provided, the default.cfg will be used which is the same as classic.cfg.

Configuration	Classic (Default)	Modern (WASD)
key_right	77 (right arrow)	77 (right arrow)
key_left	75 (left arrow)	75 (left arrow)
key_up	72 (up arrow)	17 (W)
key_down	80 (down arrow)	31 (S)
key_strafeleft	51 (Alt+left arrow) or comma	30 (A)
key_straferight	52 (Alt+right arrow) or period	32 (D)
key_fire	29 (Control)	29 (Control)
key_use	57 (Space)	18 (E)
key_strafe	56 (Alt)	56 (Alt)
key_speed	54 (Shift)	54 (Shift)
use_mouse	1 (enabled)	1 (enabled)
mouseb_fire	0 (left button)	0 (left button)
mouseb_strafe	1 (right button)	1 (right button)
mouseb_forward	2 (mid button)	2 (mid button)

How to build

IDE

1. Open the project with IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse or NetBeans
2. Build and run the project (entry point: mochadoom.Engine)

Linux shell scripts

On Linux, two different scripts can be used.

1. build-and-run.sh which will build Mocha Doom and run it. You can use it as such:

   ./build-and-run.sh -iwad wads/DOOM1.WAD.

   This is the preferred way to quickly test changes for developers.

2. build-jar.sh which will build a JAR file. You can then run the JAR file as such:

   java -jar build/libs/mochadoom.jar -iwad wads/DOOM1.WAD.

   This is the preferred way for distributing a Mocha Doom executable.

Gradle

Gradle is a cross-platform build tool, which can be also used to run and build Mocha Doom. First of all, you have to install Gradle following its installation notes. After that you can use one of the following commands:

• Run Mocha Doom:

  gradle clean run --args="-iwad wads/DOOM1.WAD"

• Build a JAR file:

  gradle clean build

  This creates a JAR file in the build/libs/ folder. You can then run the JAR file as such:

  java -jar build/libs/mochadoom.jar -iwad wads/DOOM1.WAD.

  The build task also creates a distribution package under:

  build/distributions/mochadoom.zip
