this is a topic discussing anything that can run the 1993 PC game doom! it can be from any system, calculators, printers, kitchen appliances, pianos, even scratch!

can a glass of water run doom?

Short answer: Theoretically, yes. However, that can be considered cheating

Explanation:

First of all, we need a thick glass with a slit inside just big enough to fit a medium sized screen (we can't place the screen in the water for obvious reasons). Then, we need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (or controller, if GZDoom supports that IDK haven't played it). Finally, we need a raspberry pi.

Connect the screen to the raspberry pi via wires going up above the glass and into the slit.. Then, connect the bluetooth keyboard and mouse via bluetooth. The only way the screen and the wires will co-operate is upside down, so to adjust set the screen to the orientation “Landscape (flipped)” or the closest available option.

Voila! You have a glass of water that runs doom. However, this can be technically cheating as the glass of water itself isn't playing doom but rather the glass is considered a “case” for the screen.

It does. In fact, all modern source ports do.

Oh. Okay then.

I got DSDoom running on my DSi. It's a port of PrBoom.

i wonder if doom can run in the scratch post preview box

test this out in the preview option of the post editor

A Flipper Zero can run DOOM, along with most graphing calculators. Can an Arduino Uno R4 Wifi run DOOM?

the monitor systems in Doom3/Quake4 can run Doom.

is it possible to run doom in the limitations of scratch?
i dont mean a remake i mean the real deal, would it be possible?

Probably yes, I think scratch is more powerful than 1993 hardware
(it would be a source port, so almost exactly the same but in a different language. If you meant emulating it, probably not)

thanks for the reply!

Can you run DOOM on a frogs brain.
(Well, I believe I've seen someone do such.)

I don't remember seeing that, however, there are some people teaching rat neurons to run Doom: Growing Living Rat Neurons To Play… DOOM? by @thethoughtemporium@youtube.com<The Thought Emporium>.
Although it's not exactly the same thing, as the neurons are both running and playing the game.

I knew it was something with rats.
(Hey, future generations will be able to vast in the glory of this science.

I think I'm gonna make a YouTube video about porting Doom on some weird device. Could someone give me some ideas on what devices I could try running Doom on? Of course you would get credit on my video unless you say you don't want it.
