DOOM in your taskbar!
Source-port of doomgeneric. Does not have sound.
You will need a WAD file (game data). If you don't own the game, the shareware version is freely available.
Ensure you are using the Xfce desktop environment.
The names listed below correspond to debian packages that must be installed with apt
.
meson
libgtk3-dev
libxfce4panel-2.0-dev
libxfce4ui-2-dev
libxfce4util-dev
Run the following commands:
meson setup --prefix=/usr builddir
sudo meson install -C builddir
Make sure to restart your panel instance afterwards: xfce4-panel -r
. The plugin should appear as "DooM" in the panel's "Add items..." dialog.
After selecting a .WAD
file using the provided button, the game will start. The plugin has to be focused to accept keyboard input, which can be done by clicking on it.
The controls are based on the "Default controls" found here.
A huge thank you goes out to:
- Alexander Schwinn for creating the xfce4-python-sample-plugin.
- ozkl for creating doomgeneric.
