The real DOOM on a calculator!

Project site: http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?boa... NOTE: I DID NOT DO THAT PORT, MRAKLOPAZ DID! I just made the video!

After seeing clones of Doom arriving on calculators a few years ago, the real game is finally arriving on them, specifically the TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS models! It's still in beta, though: As for now, the game runs for 20-60 seconds then freezes randomly.

Some animated GIF captures can be found on the site. They look much clearer than in the video, but the framerate is much slower.

That's one hell of a calculator you got there :P

[DJOmnimaga]

That's nothing. Now there's a new version of this calc with a backlight and 65536 colors.

Okaaay. Why does people buy a "smartphone" without the "phone" is beyond me. :D (unless such a calc is significantly cheaper which is kinda doubtful)

[DJOmnimaga]

Smartphones are not allowed in most math classes, unlike calculators (which is partly why TI/Casio still feels it's right to charge so much for calcs).

But it lags

[DJOmnimaga]

It runs much faster on my TI-Nspire than on my Windows XP 2.93 GHz computer, though. :P

Oh man that is beautiful. Finally in 2011 we have true Doom port using the real Doom engine. Great graphics, they're accurate but lacking in color. Maybe TI calculators aren't the greatest like others have said.

Anyway, appreciation for this port, Doom porting is very cool.

TI has such a grip on the calculator market that, although the technology for *WAY* more powerful calculators with color screens is available and cheap, it's not going to happen anytime soon. A cheap cell phone has more power than a $100 calculator. Change is only going to happen when schools and curriculum stop calling for TI's shitty calculators.

combine this with an MP3 player with the doom soundtrack and you can now fail finals.

I just got a ti-nspire cx, welp looks like I'm gonna fail calc now.

How does it run on the ti-84 plus? My brother has that one.

[Daniel O.]

This doesn't work on TI-84s, does it? Sigh.

[valdirjales]

If i had this game on my calculator , i should use this everyday
