Classic Doom launched on TI-Nspire calculator

Of course, the capabilities of this calculator are somewhat different from the usual functions of ordinary calculators, but the news is still interesting. Not every day of the game, let the old, porting to such devices. By the way, not so long ago was published the news that the hacker found a way to hack the PS3 using a programmable calculator, now another craftsman ported Doom. By the way, the nDoom beta version is ported, this is a revised version of the original game. Video - in continuation.

As you can see, the game is going quite smoothly, without any jerks and problems - you can obviously play. The video is not particularly clean, but you can disassemble what is happening on the display. The game, by the way, “crashes” when enemies appear, but the author of the development promises to solve this problem soon. It would be interesting to know how much time this geek spent to port the game to the calculator? Obviously over the weekend such things are not done.
