spitwad

A C library for reading, writing, and manipulating WAD files. The WAD format was created by id Software for DOOM and has since become a staple of game modding. spitwad treats WADs as a general-purpose archive format — use it for your DOOM clone, or package arbitrary data and send it over a network.

Quick Start

cmake -B build
cmake --build build

#include "spitwad.h"

struct WAD wad;
wad_init(&wad, PWAD);
wad_add_lump(&wad, "GREETING", (const unsigned char *)"hello", 5);
wad_write_file(&wad, "hello.wad");
wad_destroy(&wad);

Requirements

• CMake 3.22+
• C99 compiler
• Any POSIX platform (Linux, macOS, BSD)
