Why ascend a mountain? since it is present.
Since the beginning of time (plus or minus a few years), people have been trying to make the 1993 classic Doom run on the most absurd and useless technology and software, including refrigerators, calculators, pregnancy tests, and more. Someone once managed to make Doom run inside of Doom. Samperson (Sam Chiet), a YouTuber, showed off today how he can run Doom in Notepad at 60 frames per second. Yes, this is Notepad, the default text editor that comes with every Windows machine, but it is using text to mimic the Doom game’s graphics.
Samperson maintains that the video in the following clip is really playable and not a ruse. He also claims that the code for Notepad.exe has not been altered in the slightest. If you want to see the bloody black-and-white destruction for yourself, he intends to release Notepad Doom to the general public in the upcoming few days.
I’m really not the person to ask if you’re seeking for a technical breakdown of how Samperson got this going. However, it seems like Notepad is only being utilised as a computer’s version of a TV screen, with other software handling the actual work of running the game and converting its graphics into a text depiction that Notepad can understand. Even so, there’s another entertaining method through which Doom has attained an odd, peculiar longevity, so if you’ve exhausted your Doom Eternal playthrough, you might want to give it a try.
