🎀 chocolate-doom-setup — the manual page, but make it a group chat 🎀

okay bestie, so this is the page for chocolate-doom-setup, which lives in the Games Manual section (section 6, iykyk). it's the configuration tool for chocolate-doom and honestly? she's the friend who helps you get ready before the party. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

chocolate-doom-setup — configuration tool for chocolate-doom

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

chocolate-doom-setup [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. run it, optionally with some options, and let her cook. 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so, Chocolate Doom is a modern Doom engine, and the whole point of her is that she tries to behave as similarly to the original Doom game as is possible. like, faithfully. no cap. she is not trying to be a whole different girl, she is trying to be the original girl, but modern. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

chocolate-doom-setup is the tool for configuring Chocolate Doom. it gives you a menu-based interface — yes bestie, an actual menu, you just vibe through it — for all of these settings:

  • display
  • joystick
  • keyboard
  • mouse
  • sound
  • compatibility

and that's not even the whole story, because chocolate-doom-setup can also be used to start and join network games. multitasking queen fr fr. 🌈

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

two options, both gorgeous, both about loading config from somewhere else:

  • -config file — load configuration from the specified file, instead of default.cfg. like, "hey, not that config, this config." 📁
  • -extraconfig file — load extra configuration from the specified file, instead of chocolate-doom.cfg. the bonus config. the little treat. ✨
