Screenless, but… a 3D-printed level with remotely controlled cockroaches.
(I’m looking forward to “challenge accepted” comments except for the last two ones)
Edit: I was also thinking about the Favicon, but this has been done already: https://github.com/VidFerris/FaviconDoom
“Beat that!”
Pure poetry.
A few years back, I built TeleDoom (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3-pje0PpfU) for the TADHack hackathon (http://tadhack.com/).
This allowed you to play Doom by calling a phone number, which connected via a VoIP trunk to an Asterisk server, which read your button presses and translated them into actions in Doom, and then streamed the result back over Twitch - trying to recreate the vibe of 80s/90s TV phone-in games! (These were a thing on Saturday morning TV in the UK.)
I never tested whether it would work with pulse-dial (i.e. rotary) phones - I think that would come down to the VoIP trunk provider!
This involved a VoIP trunk connected ot
Next year.
Well that brings back memories. I recall "Ranger Bob" in Northern New York, Rochester I think, who used to host skits, and other things around cartoons. And they had a TV game where you'd yell 'POW' over and over to shoot things.
As a Canuck I'd watch US TV, and it's neat to know that the UK had such cultural similarities too.
Also https://www.voicebot.net/ or https://voiceattack.com/ is what you might want, from a quick google. Add an rj11 to 3.5mm connection, hey presto ;)
Also, Frotz has been ported to more devices than Doom.
When describing playing a game in Serbian we use "on a controller" instead of "with a controller". It may be the same in Lithuanian.
When you've got a demon-infested rotary phone, you know progress has struck!
Already looking forward to the next improbable device to play Doom on…
Like a calculator app a friend made called the 'Crapulator'. It lived up to the name but not in the same fashion as the 'wrongulator'.
