This is Doom's actual renderer -- not a neural net imitating it. I wrote a compiler that turns computation graphs into transformer weights, then ported Doom's rendering algorithm into one.

No training anywhere: every weight was computed. The prompt carries the level and player position. When you feed the prompt into the model it generates drawing commands.

One frame is 53,747 generated tokens -- about 40 minutes on a B200. In 1993 Doom hit 35 fps on a 486. I hit 0.0004 fps on hardware a billion times more powerful.

It has an android 4.4.2 computer in there, which I loaded with a SNES emulator that runs the SNES version. It isn't controllable sadly.

This exact board is used in Skidata parking meters, the machines where you enter in your license plate or whatever and it gives you a price you pay.

It is, after all, just a computer with a very locked down Windows installation. But I thought it was interesting. Yes the monitor also belongs to it, it even has some kind of hinges on it.

I did this by using an exploit and getting shell access on the WiFi repeater, Then I compiled doom-ascii for MIPS 74Kc and ran DOOM
