These are always awesome and I never stop being impressed by what folks can do.
What's left in the world for "DOOM running on ____"?
Here's my idea:
Could we do this with a drone swarm? And have players still control DOOM guy somehow? I'm imagining sitting on the beach at night and someone is playing a level while everyone looks up at the sky at a massive "screen".
- Out_of_Characte 5y agoThe current world record for drones is ~1300, 320*200 resolution has 50 times more pixels than drones. Therefore you need is powerfull 8-bit color drones and someone to design good edge representation. or just have massive fleet for better resolution. https://www.airlineratings.com/news/art-sky-check-spectacular-drone-displays/ https://www.airlineratings.com/news/art-sky-check-spectacula...

Three RFCs can't be wrong… [0] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1149 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1149 [1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2549 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2549 [2] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6214 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6214

DOOM in Game of Life. DOOM as a Boltzmann brain (might take a while before that's implemented, but I bet it'll happen eventually)
- TheOtherHobbes 5y agoIt would be hard to prove that it hasn't already.
- TheCraiggers 5y agoJust because pigeons can deliver messages doesn't mean it's turing complete. Although they could be used in data transfer. I've never seen anybody suggest that RFC1149 is Turning Complete, anyway. Game of Life is totally Turing Complete though, so it's already proven that you can indeed run Doom on it.
- unhammer 5y agothus the hedge "trained" ;)
- usrusr 5y agoToo easy. At first I was imagining some amazing drone dance, but then I realized that it would be just a wireless screen with horrible battery endurance.

Supposedly the guy (Palmer) who created the commercial gba version had done a tech demo for gbc, but Carmack decided it was too stripped down and proposed a commander keen port for gbc at the time instead. Gba came out a couple of years later and was powerful enough.
- PhasmaFelis 5y agoYears ago, I saw someone implemented a vector display using a powerful visible-light laser on a gimbal, instead of an electron gun with magnetic deflection. Then they used it to play Tetris on passing clouds.
