Doom has been ported to a pair of earbuds, and you can play remotely on the programmer’s own pair in your browser

I know what you’re thinking. “How banal, yet another programmer has got Doom running where it doesn’t belong.” And I get it: you’ve seen id’s formative FPS running on a Lego brick, a PDF, bacteria, 100 pounds of potatoes, a pregnancy test, and even a piano. I don’t think I could make up something more ridiculous than what’s already been done. And yet, I am still impressed by Doombuds.

Thanks to Sydney-based web developer Arin Sarkisian, Doom now runs on a pair of earbuds. More specifically, it runs on the PineBuds Pro, which Sarkisian explains on his site are “the only earbuds with open source firmware.” The buds have a CPU strong enough to run Doom with some minor tweaks—the site notes Sarkisian “cranked [the CPU] up to 300mhz and disabled low power mode,” providing “more than enough” juice to run the game, albeit at around 18 fps.
