My 12 y/o daughter recently ran into a "does it run DOOM" reference in media (I think a graphic novel-- not sure) and asked me about it. I got to explain the phenomenon and show her some examples (she found the pregnancy test to be particularly amusing). I'll have to show her this one.
- Something1234 6mo agoWhat’s the graphic novel?
- EvanAnderson 6mo agoI don't know. I'll ask her. She burns thru them and it may have already been returned to the library.
- EvanAnderson 6mo agoI was conflating. She said another kid at school (who has a self-taught programming background) talked about running DOOM on the microbit devices they started programming at school. She didn't follow the reference. (The graphic novel inquiry was an unrelated bit of cultural idiom.)
- vardump 6mo agoThe pregnancy test had altered innards. So it was fake.
- EvanAnderson 6mo agoSadness for that, and for my inability to read in-depth.
- vardump 6mo agoWell, it's still a great idea and a cool project.
- anthk 6mo agoBut you can play Zachine v3 games in a pencil, such as Zork I-III, Tristam Island, Calypso... with builtin writting recognition under some special printed sheets (where you can print and then xerox them for the cheap).
- kibibu 6mo agoNot fake exactly The achievement was using the screen, not actually running the rendering engine. Everybody else misinterpreted the original hack.
- vardump 6mo agoAlso the screen was replaced.
