It attempts to provide a visual look similar to the GZDoom source port, and it also supports various gameplay mechanics. The RooM engine supports various advanced rendering features, courtesy of the Roblox codebase. The result is that WAD's can be converted perfectly and that actor and entity position is also readable. Since each lump is different, various methods of parsing are used.

These are then run through a loop looking for packets of data which are then stored in a table. Without seeing the file itself (which hopefully by 'self-extracting', they don't mean 'it contains the full commercial Doom2.wad'), I couldn't say much further. There's much more blood, plus it adds unique gibs, death animations, dismemberments, headshots, executions, fire and explosion particles, flares, shadows over all objects, and much more. It makes the game much more violent than before. A custom WAD converter is used that looks at the bottom headers of each lump and then searches for the preceding bytes that detail the lump's size index and offset index. It's possible that this copy of Brutal Doom is broken in such a way that older GZDooms don't care about it, but newer ones do. Brtal Doom takes Doom into a whole new level. RooM uses a custom engine made in Lua that works in tandem with the Roblox infrastructure.

Multiplayer: Deathmatch is available but also an Invasion mode similar to the one used in the Skulltag source port exists with spectator capabilitiesĭespite this, RooM remains a work in progress.

Brutal Doom: Utilizes a custom HUD and introduces more gibs and a glory kill mechanic, combined with various weapons from Brutal Doom.

Classic mode: Plays the original Doom levels converted to native format, and can utilize additional graphical features, such as colored lighting.

RooM has been demonstrated with the following modes: Later development of the engine, now known as RooM and labeled v2.x, were spent on and off implementing various new gameplay mechanics, taken from Brutal Doom and Skulltag. A WAD converter is implemented to convert the various data lumps over so that WADs work perfectly in the engine. Noah's Doom Engine was the initial project to get Doom working in Roblox. RooM started out as Noah's Doom Engine on July 8, 2015, but the RooM page followed on July 21 in advance. The most recent trailer of RooM, showing the various gameplay modes and visuals.
