Developer Lukas Vogel has managed to render the classic 1993 shooter Doom entirely within an SQL database, documenting the stunt in a lengthy blog post. He acknowledges the idea is 'obviously a bad idea' but shows how database queries can be pushed to display playable game graphics. The project is drawing amused attention from programmers, joining a long tradition of running Doom on unintended platforms.
Why now: Running Doom on absurd platforms is a beloved programming challenge, and a database-based version is an eye-catching new entry.
