I’m starting to get kind of paranoid. Is there anything that can’t run Doom at the moment? Is there anything that isn’t running it as we speak? As he’s working, at the edge of his hearing he starts hearing E1M1’s music. , I catch a glimpse of a cacodemon out of the corner of my eye.morning I Are you running Doom? you?
Your toothbrush does. Or it could be, because the latest tool that’s unlikely to host the granddaddy of all FPSs on the planet is the Planck Mini Toothbrush. Rinse, floss, and slayer until it’s done.
The Doom toothbrush discovered by 404 Media comes courtesy of a wizard named Aaron Christoffel, who hacked the WiFi-enabled brush using custom firmware before loading a special custom version of Doom. Normally, Planck Mini’s WiFi function is only there to enable dental hygiene monitoring status. This means you’ll be able to collect reports and information about your child’s brushing habits even when you’re not at home. It may sound completely free to me, but I am not a parent or agent of Colgate Securitate.
Anyway, once Planck was fully jailbroken, Christophel was able to use two GitHub projects to get Doom working on that tiny little screen. The first is a project by developer Jeroen Domburg, who made it possible to run Doom on top of a Christmas tree ornament a while back, and the second is Simon Howard’s Miniwad, which made the game small enough to It was a very small version of Doom that had a lot of work done on it. Brush to fit in his 4MB flash storage. Still, Christoffel had to scale down that version to make it work.
The toothbrush hack is complete. All that remains is for him to play Doom on it. It actually runs very smoothly and can be controlled with a regular computer mouse, but there’s no onboard speaker, so you won’t be able to hear the tiniest sound of a shotgun explosion you’ve ever heard.
Frankly, this is great. If we’re doomed to move inexorably down the path to a cyberpunk future (heh), where all our personal data is fed back into a shadowy empire of tech companies in San Francisco that refreshes the brains of people At least it gives us these absurd little projects to entertain us on the way there. After all, even in hell on earth, you have to remain optimistic.
