What Runs Doom? An Adafruit CLUE #DailyDoom #Doommas
In December, Adafruit is showcasing hardware that runs the vintage game Doom, with a special emphasis on things you would not expect could run the popular game.
…we’re seeing more and more development boards with a lot of extra hardware, which is helpful for prototyping and even for using the development board as a complete device. The Adafruit CLUE development board includes many of those goodies and it can even run Doom.
Not only can it run Doom, it can run it very well. Next-hack found that Doom runs smoothly on nRF52840-based devices, including the Adafruit CLUE, at 30 FPS (frames per second). That makes it very playable on the CLUE’s 240 x 240 pixel 1.4″ full-color IPS TFT display.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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.
