"Doom Now Playable Using Gut Bacteria, Bitcoin, and Dogecoin"
TL;DR Summary
MIT researchers have proposed a way to run the classic game Doom using E. coli bacteria, with each cell functioning as a pixel on a display controller. The game, known for its adaptability, has been ported to various unconventional platforms, including ATMs, printers, and even blockchain networks like Bitcoin and Dogecoin. While the E. coli simulation took 70 minutes to reach peak display and could potentially take centuries to fully run the game, the concept showcases the game's enduring appeal and computational design.
