Prototype scope: C-Dogs SDL is a different, self-contained engine and free-content game—not a Doom WAD. Multiplayer networking is intentionally disabled in this first browser build; the focus is solo/local play and isolated runtime validation. *Gamepad support is delegated to SDL and browser capability.
