Doom was eventually played on a Lego track.

We saw that the FPS classic Doom, which came out in 1993, could be played almost everywhere. The game, which continues to amaze, has so far been played on a pregnancy test, Apple Watch, Macbook Touchbar, a printer, calculator, cash machines and various outdoor advertising signs.

While the question to be asked for this classic, which really requires minimal system features today, is “Where is Doom unplayable?”, we can now delete Lego pieces from this list. Because it was done.

How did they run Doom on a Lego track?

A piece of Lego is actually just plastic. So you’re right, just a normal Lego brick doesn’t have a digital display, nor does it contain hardware circuits. Still, there are no barriers to creativity and talent. Your opinion, no matter how crazy it may be. So, they’re talking about going to Mars, for example.

New Zealand feder-free FPS and Lego lover James “ancient_james” Brown has come up with the idea he came up with. Among the materials of James, who collected the necessary parts for this: the STM32F030F4P6 circuit board, the ARM Cortex M0 processor, a 16K Flash memory, a 4K RAM.

Originally an animatronic and graphics programmer, James chose a 0.42-inch OLED display as the one he could fit into the tiny Lego piece. The resolution of the indicator is 72×40 pixels. James, who fit all the pieces into the blue Lego piece he printed with his three-dimensional printer, still did not have the opportunity to play the game completely in the Lego piece.

James, who connected his circuit to his computer thanks to Python commands, was able to project the content from his computer onto the screen on the Lego track. This extremely small Lego piece makes Doom a bit cute to play, but it’s definitely very troublesome.

We didn’t mention it at first, but Doom was also played in a Porsche 911 and a toaster, so what’s next?
