DOOM.v

DOOM translated from C to V. Builds in 0.7 seconds (x25 speed-up).

Current problems that will be fixed asap:

• #define consts are replaced with their values
• No indentation in functions
• Music works fine, but monster and weapon sounds don't

It is possible to translate files one by one and gradually replace C with V. Object files compiled with V have full binary compatibility with object files produced by C, and can be a drop-in replacement:

# Download and build DOOM
git clone https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom
cd chocolate-doom
cmake .
make chocolate-doom

# Build p_enemy.v and replace the object file
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vlang/doom/master/p_enemy.v
v -lib translated p_enemy.v
cp p_enemy.o src/doom/CMakeFiles/doom.dir/p_enemy.c.o

# Rebuild it again with p_enemy.v.o and launch it
make chocolate-doom && src/chocolate-doom -width 640

There are several things that are allowed in translated code:

• Globals
• ++/-- expressions and int to bool conversions (for i-- {)
• Variables can be unused
• Immutability is not enforced

All of these except for the globals are going to be fixed by the translator:

• ++/-- expressions will be replaced with statements at the right place
• unused variables will be removed
• mutable variables will be marked as mutable.
