alt Hacker NewsWell, using something related/similar to turing-complete correspondence:
----
If it can fetch/display files from the internet, yes, it can run doom[5]. Or make use of curl, curl-doom[18]
-----
stripped down doom can run in 4MB (doom on a smart toothbrush[7]). ESP32 has support for up to 4MB external PSRAM[1]. ESP32 port of doom[2]. lcd screen might provide for faster refresh / less blury images under magnifying glass.
Alternatively, adding an expansion port to be able to use 'doomchip' might make it easier hide game play while at work[8] / stay awake between screen frame refreshes. (and/or simulateously play tetris & 1d pacman; add Badgey functionality[19] )
But should one go with micropython[3], reflectionsOS[4] or not waste space and use a 2 stage 512k bootloader for dns.doom[5]?
contikiOS[6] for dns.doom[5] might be the correct fit without needing to add 4mb psram / doomchip expansion port(s).
-----
Misc doomchip information:
doomchip non-tech article(2020)[11].
doomchip developer comments[12]. Should be able to get at least 2fps!
doomchip better expanded upon in a 'heads up, 7up' thread -> slice[9]/doomchip[10].
Surprised there's no dns doom.wad / I.D.Software Application (IDSA) rfc "Spit.wad: A DNS string encoding using Unicode for doom.wad graphics" version of rfc3492: "Punycode: A bootstring encoding of Unicode for Internationalizaed Domain Names in Appliations" (IDNA) [13]
(IDSA) rfc might permit formally unifying things like unicode-line-stacker[14], stacked diacretics generator[15], unicodeart[16] and "awesome symbols and characters in a bash prompt"[17].
