VT DOOM

Screenshot

This is a port of the DOOM video game for VT terminals supporting the Sixel graphics protocol. It's mostly playable with standard VT input, but ideally requires a terminal supporting the win32 input mode used by Windows Terminal.

It was developed with the help of the excellent PureDOOM single header port.
