This isn't actually running DOOM. It's basically just taking DOOM "screenshots" and rendering them with the cells. It also takes 70 minutes to render a single screenshot and then 8 hours to clear the display.
- asystole 3y agoCall me a pedant, but this bugs (heh) me every time someone comes out with "we ran doom on X!" when they're really just using X as a display. Same thing with the pregnancy test a few years back. The whole "it runs doom" thing is meant to be about actually running the game engine, not getting something to display the output of another computer actually running it.
- mcronce 3y agoI agree. And it's not even like "we displayed Doom on X" would be uninteresting, it's just a significant difference from actually running it on X.
- beshrkayali 3y agoYou could say that you "ran" doom on a piece of paper if you just draw each frame yourself, the FPS would depend on how good/fast you are at drawing.
- crtasm 3y agoThat's running on your brain, not the paper.
