Okay I spun it off as a Quake 1 web-based multiplayer game + server you can play now at: 👉 q1.pieter.com 👈 It still works via null modem and you get instantly paired to another player (if there is somebody) and it's just a 16mb download of Quake 1 demo instead of the whole 400mb pieter .com drive If you open the URL both in the same time you probably get paired together and can death match! There is quite some latency because every package goes through my server and Quake 1 did not have client-side prediction yet (which is what Quake World added later), I'l try get QW running to see if it improves it a bit Group multiplayer can come but for that I need to see if I can get actual COM1 modem connection working not just a null modem! Here I'm playing a local LAN death match with @javilopen on a game from 1996 in a web browser via a COM1 serial port tunneled via Websockets over the internet! 🤓
