Smile Doom for touchscreen Kindles
Ever wanted to play Doom on your Kindle?
No?
Either way, here is a Doom port with touch controls for jailbroken Kindles (currently only tested on KT3):

Controls:

Click image for larger version Name: controls.png Views: 482 Size: 58.2 KB ID: 200902

Installation:
Like any other KUAL extension
  • Jailbreak your Kindle
  • Install the KUAL extension by unzipping the GitHub release into the extensions folder on your Kindle.
  • Put your doom.wad into the folder of this extension (the doom.wad contains the copyrighted game data and can't be redistributed, but you can find it online)
  • Launch using KUAL
  • To exit, press the ESC on-screen button, select "Quit Game", then Enter, then Y (see below for the button locations)

Supported devices:
  • KT3
  • Probably other 800x600 touch Kindles
  • High resolution devices like the Paperwhite are currently not supported


Background info:
Framebuffer display and dither code based on gmplay and Doom port based on doomgeneric.
For compilation I used this Docker container.

You can find the source code here: GitHub (for your own eyes sake, you should not look at it, my C skills are awful)
Attached Files
File Type: zip kindle-touch-doom-1.0.0.zip (192.2 KB, 280 views)

Thanks for the offer! I'm kind of busy with uni right now, but I'll let you know once I have something to test.

Haha yes, I was suprised that no one had done it before (or at least, I haven't found anything, if someone already did it)

Nice.

Would be great to have I D Q and K F A and C L P buttons added so that the cheats could be used.

Come to think of it strafe and change weapon would be good too, I’ll see if I can understand the source code and add a few more buttons myself.

Hi sorry, for the late response, the forum notification landed in my spam folder.
That would of course be possible quite easily, but the UI is pretty cluttered already, I should rewrite it to render bitmaps for the buttons instead of white squares so it can be understood more easily before adding more buttons to it.
OtterDev seems to be working on a Paperwhite port, not sure how far they are with it currently.
