Open-Source DOOM: How We Brought Real-Time Multiplayer to a 1993 Classic. No Servers Required.

A Breakthrough in Decentralized Gaming by JSKitty (npub16ye…g4wn)

In May 2021, Cloudflare did something wonderful. They took DOOM -the 1993 game that defined an entire genre -compiled it to WebAssembly, wired up WebSocket multiplayer through their Durable Objects edge platform, and wrote a fantastic blog post about it. As Celso Martinho put it: "Running Doom is effectively the new 'Hello, World' in computing."

We loved it. And then we thought: what if we could take it further?

What if multiplayer DOOM didn't need Cloudflare's servers -or anyone's servers? What if it didn't need the internet at all? What if you could send a 4MB file to a friend in a chat message and be fragging each other within seconds, purely peer-to-peer, with the game feeling like a modern real-time shooter instead of a 1994 LAN party?

That's what we built. We call it Open-Source DOOM.

It's powered by a stack of open technologies: Chocolate Doom compiled to WebAssembly via Emscripten, distributed as a WebXDC mini-app, with peer discovery over Nostr, end-to-end encryption via Marmot (MLS over Nostr), and real-time P2P data transport through Iroh (QUIC-based gossip). Every layer is open-source. Every packet is encrypted. No servers required.

What Cloudflare Built (And Why It's Great)

Credit where it's due. Cloudflare's doom-wasm project did the hard work of porting Chocolate Doom -> the faithful open-source recreation of the original DOOM engine -> to WebAssembly using Emscripten. That alone is a serious engineering effort. They then wrote net_websockets.c, a transport adapter that replaced DOOM's original IPX/UDP networking with WebSocket connections routed through Durable Objects on Cloudflare's edge network.

Their architecture looked like this:
Player A (Browser)  ←WebSocket→  Cloudflare Edge (Durable Object)  ←WebSocket→  Player B (Browser)
A Durable Object acted as the game room -maintaining a routing table of connected players and forwarding packets between them. Clean, elegant, and a great demo of edge computing.

But there was a catch.

What they kept the same

Cloudflare didn't modify DOOM's actual netcode. The game still used its original lockstep networking model from 1993 -the same protocol designed for four PCs on a local area network connected by coaxial cable. Every player sends their inputs (which keys they pressed) to every other player, every single frame, and the game freezes until everyone's inputs arrive.

As their blog post acknowledged: "The game only advances when everyone receives the commands from all the other players in the group."

This worked in 1993 when your LAN had sub-millisecond latency. Over the internet, through WebSockets, through a routing layer? It meant choppy gameplay, freezes whenever anyone's connection hiccupped, and a gameplay experience that felt more like a slideshow than a shooter.

The Durable Object was also a single point of failure and a centralised dependency. No Cloudflare, no DOOM.

What We Changed (Everything Except the Game Itself)

We forked Cloudflare's doom-wasm project and rebuilt the entire networking stack from scratch. Not just the transport layer -the fundamental model of how the game synchronises state between players.

Here's the before and after:

Cloudflare's DOOM Open Source DOOM

Transport WebSockets → Cloudflare Edge P2P gossip via Iroh (QUIC)

Server Durable Object (centralised) Auto-elected from players (decentralised)

Sync model Lockstep (1993 original) Real-time hybrid (snapshots + interpolation)

Damage Simulated locally by all clients Host-authoritative events

NPCs/Monsters Simulated locally by all clients Host-authoritative snapshots

Late join Not supported Fully supported

Internet required Yes (Cloudflare Workers) No (works offline, P2P)

Delivery Website (silentspacemarine.com) 4.2MB file in a chat message

Let's break down each piece.

1. No Servers, No Problem

The Simple Version

Cloudflare's DOOM needed their servers to work. Ours doesn't need any servers. When you open the game, your device automatically figures out who should be the "host" --no configuration, no IP addresses, no port forwarding, no sign-ups. It just works.

The game runs inside a .xdc file, essentially a tiny 4.2MB zip archive containing the entire game. You literally send it as a file in a chat message. Your friend opens it. You're playing DOOM together. The data travels directly between your devices through the chat app's peer-to-peer channels.

The Nerdy Version

We replaced net_websockets.c with net_webxdc.c -a transport module that speaks the WebXDC realtime channel protocol instead of WebSockets.

WebXDC is an open standard for sandboxed web apps distributed inside chat messages. The app has zero internet access, no fetch, no XMLHttpRequest, nothing. The only communication channel is webxdc.joinRealtimeChannel(), which gives you an unreliable broadcast pipe to other instances of the same .xdc file in the same chat.

Under the hood (in our primary platform, Vector), this channel is backed by Iroh, a QUIC-based peer-to-peer gossip protocol. Messages travel directly between devices, relayed through lightweight Iroh relay nodes only when direct connections aren't possible. There are no game servers, no routing tables, no Durable Objects.

Peer discovery happens over Nostr, the decentralised social protocol. When you open a game, your Iroh node address is published as a Nostr event so other players can find you and establish a direct connection. The connection itself is encrypted end-to-end via Marmot, which implements the MLS (Messaging Layer Security) protocol over Nostr. So every packet of DOOM multiplayer data, every position snapshot, every damage event, every frag, is encrypted with forward secrecy before it ever leaves your device.

The wire format is minimal:
[to: uint32 LE (4 bytes)][from: uint32 LE (4 bytes)][doom_payload]
JavaScript routes incoming packets by destination UID -only packets addressed to you (or broadcast address 0) get delivered to the WASM engine. Everything else is silently dropped.

For performance, Vector provides a WebSocket fast-path: the app connects to ws://127.0.0.1:{random_port}/{token} -a localhost WebSocket server spun up by the Rust backend -giving near-zero-latency access to the Iroh gossip sender. Binary frames go straight to sender.broadcast() with zero copies. Fallback path uses Tauri invoke with base91 encoding.

2. Who's the Server? Magic.

The Simple Version

In a normal online game, someone runs a server, and everyone connects to it. In Open Source DOOM, there is no predetermined server. When you open the game, all players silently negotiate who becomes the host. The person who opened the game first wins. This happens automatically in about three seconds, and you never even notice it.

The Nerdy Version

Server election uses a dead-simple timestamp protocol over the broadcast channel:

Every instance broadcasts 4 magic bytes ([42, 42, 42, 42]) every 300ms: "I exist, who's the server?"

Every instance responds to discovery requests with: [43, 43, 43, 43][padding(4)][timestamp(8)] -where timestamp is Date.now() from when the app first opened

The instance with the earliest timestamp wins

After 3 seconds with no earlier challenger, you declare yourself server

The elected server re-broadcasts its beacon every 3 seconds so late-joiners can discover it

The server gets instanceUID = 1 (hardcoded). Clients get a random UID in 1–65534. This UID becomes their network address for the entire session -no DNS, no IP addresses, no NAT traversal headaches.

The whole election algorithm is about 80 lines of JavaScript. It works over any broadcast transport. No configuration needed.

3. From Lockstep to Real-Time (The Big One)

The Simple Version

Original DOOM multiplayer works like a group of people writing a letter round-robin. Nobody can write their next line until everyone has received and read the previous line. If one person is slow, everyone waits.

We changed it to work more like a live conversation. Everyone talks at their own pace. If you miss a word, you can still follow along because the speaker periodically summarises where things stand. The result feels like a modern shooter -smooth movement, responsive controls, no freezing.

The Nerdy Version

This was the most fundamental change: replacing DOOM's pure lockstep synchronisation with a hybrid real-time model. The ticcmd backbone remains (it's too deeply embedded in Chocolate Doom's deterministic physics to remove), but we layered three correction systems on top:

a) Position Snapshots + Exponential Smoothing

Every 2 tics (~57ms at 35 FPS), each player broadcasts a snapshot of their state:
int data[9] = {
    mo->x, mo->y, mo->z,        // World position (fixed-point)
    mo->angle,                    // Facing direction
    mo->momx, mo->momy, mo->momz, // Velocity
    attack_weapon,                // 0=idle, 1-9=attacking with weapon N
    latency                       // Round-trip time (ms)
};
Remote players don't run DOOM's physics engine at all. Instead, D_TickPlayerInterp() runs every tic:
Extrapolate the target forward using stored momentum: target_x += momx
Smooth toward the target, closing 60% of the remaining gap each tic:
#define INTERP_FRAC  39322  // 0.6 * 65536 (fixed-point)
mo->x += FixedMul(target_x - mo->x, INTERP_FRAC);
mo->y += FixedMul(target_y - mo->y, INTERP_FRAC);
Teleport detection: if the delta exceeds 128 map units, snap instantly (player respawned or hit a teleporter)
One subtle but critical detail: angle is NOT interpolated. The ticcmd's angleturn field is applied deterministically by P_MovePlayer() and stays in sync across machines. Interpolating angle toward a stale snapshot would fight the ticcmd, causing visible rotation jitter of up to 90 degrees. We learned this the hard way.

b) Attack Animation Sync

Remote players' attacks are driven by snapshot data, not ticcmds. When a snapshot reports attack_weapon > 0, we set the S_PLAY_ATK1 animation state and play the weapon fire sound. An 8-tic animation lock prevents local state transitions from overriding it.

To prevent feedback loops, we track last_received_attack[] -the raw flag as received from the network -and broadcast that, not the lock-modified mobj state. Without this, attack animations would echo infinitely.

4. "I Shot You!" "No You Didn't!"

The Simple Version

In the original DOOM, every computer runs its own copy of the game physics. When you shoot someone, your computer calculates the damage, and their computer calculates the damage, and because the game is in lockstep, they always agree.

With our real-time model, that guarantee vanishes -your screen and theirs might show slightly different positions. So we made one player (the host) the referee. When you shoot someone, you tell the host "I hit Player 2 for 50 damage". The host checks the physics, applies the damage if it's valid, and announces the result to everyone. One truth, no arguments.

The Nerdy Version

We implemented an event-based host-authority model for all game-changing state:

Damage path:
Client A fires weapon → bullet hits Player B locally
  → Client A sends DAMAGE_EVENT to host: {target: B, damage: 50, source: A}
  → Client A applies VISUAL FEEDBACK ONLY (screen flash, attacker tracking)
  → Client A does NOT reduce Player B's health

Host receives DAMAGE_EVENT:
  → Sets damage_from_event = true (bypasses remote-source skip)
  → Calls P_DamageMobj() with full physics simulation
  → New health broadcasted via HEALTH_AUTH packet next snapshot cycle

All clients receive HEALTH_AUTH:
  → Apply as ground truth
  → Host says dead, client says alive? → P_KillMobj()
  → Host says alive, client says dead? → Trigger respawn
  → Health decreased? → Play pain animation
The damage_from_event flag is critical. Without it, the host faces a double-damage problem: it receives both the ticcmd attack (from the lockstep backbone) AND the explicit damage event. The flag ensures only the event path applies.

Other host-authoritative systems: - USE events: Client presses 'E' near a door → sends USE_EVENT → host calls P_UseLines() → door opens for everyone - Respawns: Client dies → sends RESPAWN_REQUEST → host sets playerstate = PST_REBORN - Kill messages: Host broadcasts KILL_MSG when a player dies → displayed on all screens

5. Making Monsters Agree

The Simple Version

DOOM has dozens of monsters per level, each running their own AI -chasing you, shooting fireballs, infighting with each other. In the original game, every computer simulates every monster identically (because lockstep ensures they all see the same inputs). In our version, only the host simulates the monsters. Everyone else just sees the results -like watching a puppet show where only the puppeteer knows the script, but the audience sees the performance in real-time.

The Nerdy Version

We built a full NPC synchronisation system (p_netsync.c/h):

Registry: Every monster and barrel gets a unique net_id via P_NetAssignId():
mobj_t *net_mobj_table[MAX_NET_MOBJS];  // 512 slots
unsigned short net_id_counter;            // Sequential allocator
Host broadcasts (every 2 tics) a compact binary snapshot:
[npc_count: u8][gametic: u16]
Per NPC (20 bytes): net_id(2) x(4) y(4) z(4) angle(1) statenum(2) health(2) flags(1)
[sector_count: u8]
Per changed sector (10 bytes): sector_id(2) ceiling(4) floor(4)
[missile_count: u8]
Per missile (32 bytes): source_net_id(2) type(2) x(4) y(4) z(4) momx(4) momy(4) momz(4) angle(4)
Client-side: In P_MobjThinker(), clients skip physics entirely for any mobj with net_id > 0. Only the animation tic counter runs. State changes use P_SetMobjStateNoAction() -which applies the visual state WITHOUT executing action functions. This prevents clients from independently spawning projectiles, running AI decisions, or playing duplicate sounds.

The sector data keeps doors and lifts in sync. The missile data ensures fireballs and rockets appear on all screens.

6. "Room for One More?" -Mid-Game Joining

The Simple Version

Original DOOM didn't let you join a game already in progress. Everyone had to be there at the start, or too bad. Our version lets players drop in mid-game. You open the .xdc, the game finds the server, and you spawn in -even if everyone else is already knee-deep in the dead.

The Nerdy Version

Late joining required solving several hairy problems:

Tic synchronisation: The late joiner's tic counter is meaningless -they weren't there for tics 0 through N. When the server accepts a late join, it sends settings->start_tic set to the current server tic. The client aligns its recvtic, maketic, and gametic to this value, syncing the 8-bit tic sequence numbers with the server's counter.

Double-slot bug: We found that NET_SV_AssignPlayers() could assign the new client to a slot that was already used, creating a ghost duplicate. The fix: HandleLateJoin() explicitly clears any pre-existing slots for the new client before assigning a fresh one.

Ghost body cleanup: When a player disconnects and reconnects (or the quit/rejoin cycle fires), their old mobj lingers in the world as an invisible collision obstacle. P_SpawnPlayer() now checks for and removes any existing mobj before spawning:
if (p->mo) {
    p->mo->player = NULL;
    P_RemoveMobj(p->mo);
    p->mo = NULL;
}
Name propagation: When a new player joins, every existing player re-broadcasts their name, so the joiner's HUD displays the correct names instead of the defaults ("Green", "Indigo", "Brown", "Red").

7. Fits in a Chat Message

The Simple Version

The entire game -engine, levels, monsters, weapons, networking, touch controls, gamepad support, all of it -fits in a 4.2 megabyte file. That's smaller than most photos your phone takes. You send it in a chat message like you'd send a meme. Your friend taps it, and they're in the game. No app store, no downloads, no accounts, no updates.

The Nerdy Version

The .xdc format is just a ZIP archive with a different extension. Ours contains:

File Size (compressed) Purpose

vector-doom.wasm ~2.7 MB Chocolate Doom engine (Emscripten, -O3)

doom1.wad ~1.7 MB DOOM shareware levels (freely distributable)

vector-doom.js ~160 KB Emscripten runtime (terser-minified, 58% reduction)

index.html ~12 KB UI, touch controls, gamepad support, CRT visual theme

webxdc-net.js ~3 KB Server election + packet routing

icon.png ~90 KB App icon

bg.jpg ~100 KB Background artwork

default.cfg ~2 KB Default key bindings

manifest.toml ~100 B WebXDC metadata

The WASM binary and WAD compress extremely well in ZIP (65% and 58% respectively), bringing the total to 4.2MB.

The build pipeline: 1. Emscripten compiles Chocolate Doom + our modifications to WASM (emmake make -j4) 2. webxdc-net.js is injected as --pre-js (runs before WASM initialises) 3. JS is minified with terser in parallel 4. HTML is minified (strip comments, collapse whitespace) 5. Everything zipped at maximum compression (zip -9)

The game runs on any WebXDC-compatible messenger. We built it for Vector (a Nostr-based messenger), but it works in Delta Chat and potentially any app that implements the WebXDC standard.

The Full Stack, From Keypress to Frag

Here's what happens when you press the fire button on your phone:
1. Your finger hits the Fire button (HTML touch event)
2. JavaScript calls Module._inject_key_event(0, 32)     // keydown, spacebar
3. DOOM's event queue receives ev_keydown
4. D_ProcessEvents() → G_Responder() builds ticcmd with BT_ATTACK
5. TryRunTics() executes the tic -your weapon fires, P_LineAttack() traces a hitscan
6. Bullet hits Player 2 → P_DamageMobj() → instead of applying damage:
   → NET_CL_SendDamageEvent(target=2, damage=50, source=you)
7. Every 2 tics, your position snapshot broadcasts via realtimeChannel:
   → JS encodes [to(4)][from(4)][snapshot] → WebSocket → Iroh gossip → peer devices
8. Host receives damage event → validates → applies → broadcasts HEALTH_AUTH
9. Player 2's screen: health drops, pain flash plays, kill message appears
10. Your screen: the host's HEALTH_AUTH confirms the kill
Total time from keypress to kill confirmation: roughly 100-200ms depending on network conditions. No servers touched. No corporation involved. Just two chat apps talking directly to each other.

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

None of this would exist without:

id Software for open-sourcing the DOOM engine in 1997 -a decision that created an entire modding ecosystem and directly enabled everything described here

Chocolate Doom for faithfully recreating the original engine in portable, hackable C

Cloudflare for proving DOOM-in-WebAssembly was viable and open-sourcing their doom-wasm port -the foundation we forked

Emscripten for making C-to-WASM compilation actually work

Iroh (by n0.computer) for the QUIC-based P2P gossip protocol that makes serverless real-time gaming possible

The WebXDC community for defining an open standard for sandboxed web apps in chat messages

And a special note: the networking architecture of Open Source DOOM was designed and implemented as a collaboration between a human developer and an AI (Claude, by Anthropic). Not generated and pasted -collaborated on. Hundreds of iterations, debugging sessions at 3am with hex dumps of gossip packets, heated debates about whether to interpolate angles (don't), and moments of genuine surprise when things just... worked.

Try It

Open-Source DOOM is free, open-source, and available today.

Play it: Download Vector, open Vector Nexus (our decentralised in-app Mini App store), and find DOOM in the Multiplayer category. Send it to a friend or group chat and start fragging - no manual file management needed.

Read the code: The full source is available at github.com/nicholasopuni31/doom-wasm.

Build on it: The WebXDC realtime channel pattern we developed here works for any real-time multiplayer game.

If DOOM is "Hello, World" for computing, then Open Source DOOM is "Hello, World" for decentralised gaming.

If you're on Nostr, you already understand why owning your data matters. You've left platforms that exploit your content, mine your social graph, and lock you into their ecosystem. So why would you accept anything less from a fitness app?

RUNSTR is the fitness app built for Nostr from the ground up. When you log a run, a bike ride, or a strength session, it doesn't get stored in our database. It gets posted to your relays as a kind 1301 event - just like a note, but for workouts. Your fitness data lives where your other Nostr content lives: under your control, on relays you choose, signed by your keys.

There is no RUNSTR database. There is no account to create. You log in with Nostr, and your workout history is whatever your relays have stored. Switch apps tomorrow? Your data comes with you. That's the point.

What RUNSTR Does

Track Everything - Running, walking, cycling, hiking, strength training, yoga, meditation. Log workouts manually or sync from your existing wearables (Garmin, Fitbit, Strava imports coming). Every workout becomes a kind 1301 note on Nostr.

Nostr Health Sync - We built something we call Nostr Health Sync. Think of it as an open-source version of Apple Health or Android Health Connect, but decentralized. Health and fitness data aggregated from Nostr itself, not a proprietary silo.

Find Events and Clubs - RUNSTR.Club is our companion website where you can discover fitness events and running clubs. No platform fees. Events broadcast to Nostr, so they're discoverable across Primal, Damus, or any other client.

What's Coming: RUNSTR Premium

We're launching RUNSTR Premium - a membership that actually pays you to stay active.

For 100,000 sats per year, you get:

Weekly Bitcoin rewards based on how often you work out

Access to RUNSTR Seasons - our exclusive virtual competitions

Discounts to in-person RUNSTR events

The reward math is simple: work out 2 days a week and you break even on your membership. Work out 3+ days and you profit. At 6-7 days per week, you're earning 30% more than you paid - and that's denominated in sats, so any Bitcoin appreciation is pure upside.

We're finalizing the payout infrastructure now. Premium is coming soon.

RUNSTR Season 2: Run for Charity

Starting January 1, 2026, we're launching Season 2 - a two-month fitness competition with a 1,000,000 sat prize pool.

Here's the twist: the prize money goes to Bitcoin charities, not individual athletes.

When you log a workout, your distance contributes to your chosen charity's total. Support OpenSats? Every kilometer you run adds to OpenSats' running total. At the end of the season, the charity with the most cumulative distance in each category (running, walking, cycling) wins that category's share of the prize pool.

You're not just getting fit - you're directing real Bitcoin to causes that matter. Top performers get medals. Premium members earn their weekly sats throughout. Everyone moves the needle for their charity.

Why We Built This

Fitness apps have the same problem social media had: they harvest your data, lock you into their platform, and give you nothing in return except gamified badges that mean nothing.

RUNSTR flips that model:

Your data stays yours - kind 1301 events on your relays

No platform lock-in - Nostr is the database

Real rewards - actual Bitcoin, not points

Community events - in-person races that fund the whole ecosystem

We're building the fitness platform Nostr deserves.

⚡ Nodesignal-Techboost - E254: Nerds unter sich - btc++ lightning edition

Live von der btc++ in Berlin! Eine technische Deep-Dive-Session mit René Pickhardt, Christian Decker (Blockstream) und Calle (Cashu) über den aktuellen Stand von Lightning und die Zukunft der Bitcoin-Skalierung.

🔥 Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse:

ARK als Lightning Channel Factory
Der Gamechanger: VTXOs in ARK können als Lightning-Channels verwendet werden! Statt jeden Payment einen neuen VTXO zu erstellen, kann ein VTXO 30 Tage als Channel leben und tausende Zahlungen abwickeln. Das löst das Kapitaleffizienz-Problem und macht ARK zur perfekten Channel Factory für Lightning. Layer 1, 2 UND 3? 🤯

Multiparty-Channels: Die Skalierungslösung
René's Research zeigt: Two-Party-Channels sind kapitalineffizient. Multiparty-Channels (5-out-of-5 statt 2-out-of-2) verbessern die Liquiditätsallokation dramatisch. Aber: Wir brauchen LN-Symmetry/eltoo für sichere Implementierung - der Penalty-Mechanismus funktioniert bei >2 Parteien nicht.

Lightning = einzige dezentrale Skalierung
Während ARK, Cashu, Fedimint & Co. auf Custodians/ASPs setzen, bleibt Lightning das EINZIGE truly permissionless System. Kein Unterschied zwischen User und Operator - everyone is just another node. Diese Eigenschaft ist einzigartig im gesamten Bitcoin-Space.

Cashu braucht Lightning
Ohne Lightning würde Ecash keinen Sinn machen. 6 Blöcke Wartezeit für Mint-Deposits? UX-Desaster. Lightning ist die Bedingung für funktionierende Ecash-Systeme. Multi-mint Payments und HTLC-Ecash zeigen: Die Systeme wachsen symbiotisch zusammen.

Blockstream Greenlight: 250.000 Nodes
Non-custodial Lightning at scale! Der Signer läuft beim User, die Node im Rechenzentrum. 72 TB Blockdaten täglich für alle Nodes. On-demand Startup in Sekunden. Graduated approach: Von custodial Onboarding zu full sovereignty.

💭 Das Stimmungsbild:

Lightning ist "normal" geworden - nicht mehr das große Ding, sondern das stabile Fundament für die nächste Generation. Die Euphorie ist zu ARK & Co. gewandert, aber Lightning bleibt unverzichtbar. Der Professionalisierungsgrad ist extrem: Von Nerd-Hobby 2018 zu Production-Grade 2025.

"Es ist wirklich, wirklich schwer, elektronisches Peer-to-Peer Geld zu bauen. Lightning ist das Beste, was wir können - und das ist eigentlich ziemlich gut." - René Pickhardt
