Also, rather than Calculator Doom, nowadays we could also have a;-)OK, I read the damned thread like ten times, but I'm not a programmer and I barely understand anything (and what I understood is probably wrong). The numerous technical terms didn't help. To make matters worse, the download links doesn't work.
So, a couple of questions. Can you explain me in simple terms what's the general idea? How did the final attempt (this is, the links in the final post) resulted? I know this sounds extremely n00b, but I honestly don't understand. Thanks in advance, and good day. Can you explain me in simple terms what's the general idea?The TL; DR version is this: someone used Boom's (not Doom's) mapping features to emulate the very basic functions of an electronic calculator, with considerable effort, too.
If a calculator was a car, what he achieved can be compared to emulating a single nut and bolt or the spark from the spark plugs, so to speak.It's mostly a proof-of-concept, which is unlikely to have any practical application:CONJECTURE: you can emulate the functioning a complete, functional computer (electronic calculator) just by using Boom's game logic with a properly created map.PROOF: with enough mapping effort, you can indeed re-create the functionality of a few very elementary components of a true electronic calculator using just Boom's mapping features. Once this is done, it's simply a matter of incrementally emulating more components until you get to the point of emulating an entire calculator. Hence, a Boom Calculator, Q.E.D.
This subreddit focuses on odd hardware running DooM. Calculators, refrigerators, ATMs, old video game systems, etc. If it has a computer in it and it wasn't ever intended to play DooM, you're in the right spot.Note: This subreddit is not simply for screenshots of devices playing DooM. If you're just installing DooM on something from a pre-packaged binary and there are no obstacles preventing you from running DooM, then it's not really in the spirit of this sub.
This is more of a sub for curious and/or adventurous programmers to share how they got DooM running on a device and what they had to bypass or what obstacles they had to overcome to get it running.Rules.Don't be a dick, follow Reddiquette, and have fun! This sub is for the curious and adventurous DooMers who like a challenge and aren't satisfied when a device says that it's not possible to play DooM on it. Respect each other and be helpful, not hurtful.Original Content is encouraged but not required. If you're not posting original content, you must link to the source of the content that shows how the original creator got it running or, if that's unavailable, you have to create your own instructions for getting it running.' Can this run DooM?' Posts are not allowed. We occasionally open 'Can this run DooM?'
Threads for certain timeframes but there are lots of ways to run DooM and those posts usually just encourage people to expect everything to be handed to them. If you don't have the desire to put a little work in, this isn't the sub you're looking for.If you show something running DooM, it must include a link to a description, video, or download with how to get it running. If a link doesn't exist, you can give more information in the post body or a comment. The instructions must be complete enough to allow someone to follow them step by step and get DooM running on the device in question. It's ok if there are technical instructions but it shouldn't be something without detail like 'Download PRBoom and install it'. Provide the the links and the instructions.This sub is about running DooM on devices it wasn't intended for.
No low effort or shitposts. Posts about running in a browser or ports for new systems will be removed.
