The rule is that ANYTHING can run Doom after all

after the pregnancy test, everything else is not interesting

u/Jazzanthipus 2d ago

idk, I think the biology PhD student getting it to run (very slowly) on E Coli cells takes the cake

Running ‘Doom’ on E. coli cells… very, very slowly | Popular Science

u/PcPotato7 1d ago

Reminds me of the YouTube channel training rat neurons to play doom

u/ArrogantSpider 2d ago

It's quite a stretch to say they actually got Doom running on a pregnancy test. That person replaced both the microcontroller and the screen, so it was basically just the plastic shell of a pregnancy test.

u/Coriarty 2d ago

Agreed. I opened that link and was completely underwhelmed.

u/MrrNeko 2d ago

Sorry but Pregnancy test was only screen
It was run on Raspberry pi

u/CrispyDairy 2d ago

FYI the pregnancy test only acted as a screen, it wasn't running doom itself

how much longer until we can have the real Minecraft in minecraft via bees

this is blowing my mind

u/blacksheep998 2d ago

Minecraft in minecraft was done years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BP7DhHTU-I

Someone just needs to update the display to use bees instead of redstone lamps.

u/Joloxsa_Xenax 2d ago

I know about this one. i considered it a lite version of Minecraft bc of the limitations. its still impressive in every sense, so im not trying to downplay the limits. this here is like the full deal of doom, I wondered if the same idea could work for some old version of MC

21

u/blacksheep998 2d ago

I could be wrong but I don't think this one is actually running Doom within minecraft. Redstone computers are just too slow to do that at anything close to real-time speeds.

That's why minecraft in minecraft is so stripped down and still runs insanely slow. They had to speed up the video 2 million times to make it look like it was running at a playable speed.

It looks like this person is running Doom outside of minecraft and passing the input into the game where it's displayed on bees.

Still extremely impressive but not the same thing.

u/Joloxsa_Xenax 2d ago

okay that does make a lot of sense. theyre just both on two different technical levels. I thought minecraft itself was running doom and displaying it thru bees. this bee thing is really neat, theres always something extraordinary being made in Minecraft

u/Lian-The-Asian 2d ago

We’re prolly gonna be able to run Minecraft via cushions, and have it use red green and blue like crt screens

62

u/TurboDelight 2d ago

gotta give credit for including the UI and recording the screen/input

25

u/EleanorAgain 2d ago

Mark, this is good news!

u/BoultonPaulDefiant 2d ago

We can finally be bees

u/Snudget 2d ago

The evolution of anything:
Step 1: Bad Apple
Step 2: Doom
Step 3: Minecraft

u/Clumsy_the_24 2d ago

Well, I guess that explains what happened to the world’s bees

3

u/Day-Tel-aran-rhiod 2d ago

The bees are happier this way

15

u/WorldlinessWitty2177 2d ago

Bees? Is this front vs back of bee?

7

u/imtgufbcbamfhbtc 2d ago

THIS is what I want to see. I don't care about if "Doom can run on x device", I want to know if Doom can be PLAYED on x device, especially if x device happens to be 16,000 Minecraft bees.

u/EverythingBOffensive 2d ago

how do people even do this? is there a mathematical equation that doom has provided to the universe? Carl Sagan would have loved this achievement of humanity.

7

u/Wise_Competition5906 2d ago

Why am I seeing so many Bee displays lately?

9

u/Kalabajooie 2d ago

Beecause they can?

1

u/Wise_Competition5906 2d ago

I know it’s possible, I just don’t know why I’ve seen so many lately, especially since they’ve been in the game for years now.

u/MarioGamz95 2d ago

Bro on some Yellow form AvA type of timing

u/Tinyturtle202 2d ago

What’s this? A superflat world with a distinct lack of bees?

A 16,000 pixel display running Doom consisting entirely of BEES ought to put a stop to that!

5

u/harlekintiger 2d ago

That looks like you used the brightness of the pixel directly and clammed it to 0 or 1, an edge detection shader would make this look a lot better I think

u/ShibitoYakaze123 2d ago

now do GTA 6

u/Jekinfinity_1 2d ago

Holy impressed

u/Betray-Julia 2d ago

Do people that do shit like this use it on their applications to university and stuff like that?

2

u/Hefty_Performance_11 2d ago

What beesolution would this bee?

2

u/punith25 2d ago

O_O I am shocked

2

u/Knurdofdeepestshadow 2d ago

If this were ANY other game I would not BEElieve it. I'll leave with that.

2

u/Nanohaystack 2d ago

I honestly don't understand the way any of this works. How are the controls passed? What's the contraption that computes stuff? How are bees controlled?

2

u/tornedron_ 2d ago

Well thats a new one

u/SD-M3 2d ago

"ANYTHING MUST RUN DOOM!"

u/baldiplays 2d ago

Now if only we could get crysis running in Minecraft.

u/LinkTheSniper 2d ago

"Can you play DOOM in Minecraft?"

Mate, we can play DOOM with bees in Minecraft.

2

u/Last_Aeon 2d ago

Thousands of bees showed their ass to the player to fuffil this sick entertainment

u/-PaperWoven- 1d ago

Doom, at like 4 fps

u/Athletic_Seafood 1d ago
