Build your doom in flash step by step - Instructions for compile alchemy doom

It is when I found this game I began to believe how useful adobe alchemy will be.

Finally, the classical doom was ported into flash player as an playable game!

Thanks to adobe alchemy and Mike(http://mike.newgrounds.com/), who made it and shared the source!

I am not an expert on doom , alchemy or even flash but I feel glad to share what I know about this project with those who like doom and flash.

This simple tutorial is the first step to build your doom in flash using Mike’s source, hope it can help. 

 PART 1 - COMPILE THE SOURCE

1.  get the souce code

(1) simplely download this packge:

http://flaswf.googlecode.com/files/alchemy_linuxdoom-1.10_by_Mike.zip

(include Mike’s source(mybe outdated, try (2) to get the latest source) and my flashdevelop project file,

just open "my doom project.as3proj"(alchemy_linuxdoom-1.10\my doom project\.) and build it you will get the "doom.swf"(\bin\.).

no pre-loader in this package, if you want that, go to the project home or make your own.)

(2) gip http://github.com/Herschel/flash-doom/tree/master

1.download this sofeware Git-1.6.4-preview20090730.exe from

http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list

install and run "Git bash":

git clone git://github.com/Herschel/flash-doom.git

 

when done go to

"C:\Documents and Settings\user\flash-doom" and find your source.

 you can also download raw file directly one by one

(http://github.com/Herschel/flash-doom/blob/7fa25473c3285d3258d27818ec06d1ebc2fb87ed/src/as3/DoomGame.as

-click raw on the right of the title)

2. install alchemy

follow the instructions:

http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Alchemy ocumentation:Getting_Started

P.S. you should install "make(Devel ) packages" when installing Cygwin.

3. compile the source code

Download the source files and copy them to D:\alchemy\(supposed you install alchemy into this folder)

Run Cygwin go to the alchemy_linuxdoom-1.10 folder and compile the source:

cd D:

cd alchemy/alchemy_linuxdoom-1.10)

source /cygdrive/d/alchemy/alchemy-setup

alc-on

make

It will take some time to finish compiling all c source files into a swc.

When you see this:

You can find lots of .o file in your swc folder, compilation is almost done,

it will now pause for a while, and then build all .o file into a swc:

When it is done, go to "swc" folder and copy the generated "doom.swc" to your project folder.

4.create your flashdevelop project

Create an flashdevelop project:

Copy "DoomGame.as" into "D:\alchemy\alchemy_linuxdoom-1.10\my build\src"

and "doom1.wad" into "D:\alchemy\alchemy_linuxdoom-1.10\my build\lib"

add the swc asset:

DoomGame.as - (right click) always compile

Properties - Output - platform target - flash player 10

Build your project now!

Finally find your "doom.swf" in bin folder

and Run it, Press space key - new game...
