Doom running on a Raspberry Pi Pico #RaspberryPi @Raspberry_Pi @kilograham5
Doom has been ported to many things, including a pregnancy test with an LCD display. But let’s get to a truly playable version. The now ubiquitous Raspberry Pi Pico is affordable and capable. Doom is rather large – space wise but with some tweaks, it is a very capable platform!
Features:
Full DOOM1.WAD playable on Raspberry Pi Pico with 2M flash.
Ultimate Doom and Doom II are playable on 8M devices.
320x200x60 VGA output (really 1280x1024x60).
9 Channel OPL2 Sound at 49716Hz.
9 Channel Stereo Sound Effects.
I2C networking for up to 4 players.
Save/Load of games.
All cheats supported.
Demos from original WADs run correctly.
USB Keyboard Input support.
All end scenes, intermissions, help screens etc. supported.
Good frame rate; generally 30-35+ FPS.
Uses 270Mhz overclock (requires flash chip that will run at 135Mhz)
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
