⚡️🎮 GAMING - Someone found a way to run DOOM inside Microsoft Paint.
Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich created a project called DoomPaint, which uses Paint as the game’s display.
Instead of rendering the game in a normal window, every frame is copied into Paint in real time.
The game can run at up to 35 FPS on some systems. It uses the original DOOM engine, supports sound and music, and can load the original DOOM1.WAD shareware files.
The project is open source, another step to getting DOOM to run on just about anything.
