A 3D first-person shooter game implemented entirely in SQL using DuckDB-WASM.

DuckDB-DOOM is an experimental game that demonstrates the power of SQL for computational tasks. The entire game logic, including 3D raycasting, enemy AI, collision detection, and rendering is implemented using SQL queries running in DuckDB's WebAssembly build.

• True first-person 3D rendering using raycasting techniques
• Collision detection
• Enemy NPCs
• Shooting mechanics with bullets
• Minimap display
• All game logic implemented in SQL

1. Open index.html in a modern web browser
2. Use WASD keys to move:
   • W: Move forward
   • S: Move backward
   • A: Turn left
   • D: Turn right
3. Spacebar: Shoot
4. L: Toggle verbose logging (to browser console)

This project uses:

• DuckDB-WASM: SQL database that runs in the browser
• Pure HTML/JavaScript for the UI
• SQL for all game mechanics and rendering

The game uses SQL in interesting ways:

1. 3D Rendering: Uses recursive CTEs to implement raycasting
2. Game state: Stored in tables (player, enemies, bullets, map)
3. Physics: SQL queries handle collision detection and movement
4. Rendering: Views transform the 3D world state into ASCII art

No installation needed! Just clone the repository and open index.html in a web browser:

git clone https://github.com/patricktrainer/duckdb-doom.git
cd duckdb-doom

Contributions are welcome! Some ideas for improvements:

• Add textures to walls
• Improve enemy AI features
• Add sound effects
• Create additional levels
