It’s often said in this community that DOOM can be made to run on anything, and as time goes on, that’s becoming more and more accurate. We’re at the point …. Running DOOM (Sort Of) on a Sonoff Smart Switch.
We’re at the point now that every “normal” device seems to have some version of the iconic 1993 shooter, so now there’s nothing left but to start working on the more oddball targets. As a perfect example, [piuppi] recently wrote in to share their efforts to get DOOM — or at least something that looks like it — running on the Sonoff Basic R2 smart switch. We say something that looks like it because the game you’re seeing in the video below isn’t actually DOOM.
It’s essentially a tech demo that’s capable of rendering graphical data pulled from the game, but only within the confines of simplistic map. Still, not bad for something designed to turn lamps on and off. The GitHub repo includes excellent documentation should you want to rip and tear on your own Sonoff device.
As you might expect the process is a bit involved, and does require you to provide your own copy of DOOM for the script to extract the necessary data from.
