Description

Ruby-DOOM provides a scripting API to DOOM level maps.

Overview

You can make a map using a Ruby script and a "path specification", like this:

m = SimpleLineMap.new(Path.new(0, 1000, "e300/n200/e300/s200/e800/s500/w800/s200/w300/n200/w300/n400"))
m.set_player Point.new(50,900)
m.add_shotgun Point.new(150, 900)
m.add_sergeant Point.new(400,700)
m.add_imp Point.new(400,700)
m.add_commando Point.new(400,700)
550.step(900, 40) {|x| m.add_barrel Point.new(x,900) }
m.create_wad("new.wad")

Or, you can convert a bitmap into a map like this:

b = BMPMap.new("wiggly.bmp")
b.set_player Point.new(400, 200)
b.create_wad("new.wad")

Ruby-DOOM can also parse any DOOM II map into an object model. Run it like this:

./doom.rb [-v] -f simple.wad

and it'll produce a list of the lumps (things, vertexes, sectors, etc) contained within the file.

Please see the www/ directory for more detailed information, and the file "examples.rb" for more examples.
