Shoehorning DOOM into different hardware is a classic hacker’s exercise, and [TheKeebProject] managed to squeeze the 1993 classic into a custom keycap with the help of a Raspberry Pi RP2040, …
It wasn’t running on the pregnancy test then, and it’s not running on a keycap now. Both this and the pregnancy test are someone putting their own hardware into a random enclosure and saying “I’m running Doom on X!”
No, you’re not really. Would you say that I’m running Doom on a banana if I put the same hardware inside a banana peel? No, because it’s just a case for something else.
If he was running it on the keyboard’s existing processor and it had a screen in the key, like Doom on a Mac touchbar, then I would agree.
If a piece of hardware can’t run doom is it even hardware?
Crazy how people are still finding new things to cram doom into. I remember when that was a popular thing to do twenty years ago haha
But I’ll admit, stuffing it into a keycap is pretty damn impressive, albeit useless haha
It’s the “hello world” for hardware.
Screw the Turing test! The superior test is “Can it run DOOM”.

He was streaming doom to the pregnancy test. it’s a pretty cool hack, even if he’s not “running” it on the pregnancy test.
