Doom for PocketBook eInk devices.

1. Download the game from the releases page https://github.com/imustafin/pbdoom/releases
2. Unzip the archive to the applications directory on the ereader.
3. Place your WADs in the applications/pbdoom directory. WAD filenames should be in lower case (not DOOM2.WAD but doom2.wad)
4. You should have this structure:

applications
├── pbdoom
│   ├── doom2.wad
│   ├── game.app
└── pbdoom.app

5. Run the game using the pbdoom icon from the ereader applications menu

The following describes a development process for building the game on Linux.

1. Obtain the SDK (we use https://github.com/pocketbook/SDK_6.3.0/tree/5.19)
2. Write the path to SDK to sdk_path (e.g. ../SDK_6.3.0-6.3.2/SDK-A13)
3. Run ./build.sh

• The executable game.app will be located in the build dir

To make the development more convenient we can use the approach of https://github.com/pmartin/pocketbook-demo/tree/master/app-sender-receiver

The general idea is to use nc to exchange data between the development computer and the ebook.

After building the executable we can send it to the device using send.sh.

Helper program pbdoom-get.app receives the executable sent by send.sh, runs the game and redirects the output to the computer using nc.

To see the output from pbdoom-get.app have mon.sh running.

Don't forget to update ip addresses and ports in all scripts.

Check the ereader's ip in wifi settings for the connected network.

1. Choose the release version (e.g. v0.0.1)
2. Update the changelog
   1. Change [Unreleased] title to the version ([v0.0.1])

3. Add and push tag (v0.0.1)
4. Push changelog updates to main
5. Grab the artifact
6. Make a GitHub release
   1. Set the version
   2. Paste changelog of the release
      • Don't add the release title (already shown by GitHub)
      • Make headings (Added, Fixed) start from h1 (#)
