Omnimaga in Game Informer - The Original Doom Running On A Calculator
« on: February 19, 2011, 05:02:19 pm »
GameInformer referenced Omnimaga due to Mrakoplaz'z nDoom.

The article can be found here.

Omnimaga is growing in popularity in regular gaming websites such as NeoGaf. That's right! This article was referenced in NeoGaf, one of the most important gaming forums on the Web! The thread can be found here.

We have to thank Mrakoplaz for making such an amazing game for the nSpire. I hope more members join our website and the activity spikes due to this piece of news.

Ohh, Ben Reeves wrote that article.  I was wondering what he was up to. :)

It's quite cool.  Congrats Mrakoplaz! ;D

I think you're confusing him with Ben Ryves. ;)

yeah, i had to double take on that name :P
Ben Ryves, for any of you who may have somehow missed it, has been working on putting Doom (or the 3d engine, at least) on the 83/4 + line via his project Nostromo

congrats to Mrakoplaz for making his debut project so ridiculous!

Wow nice, this reminds me when Reuben Quest got featured on GamesRadar 2 years ago, although only the Youtube videos did, not the site. I guess that was why there were so many guests online earlier.

EDIT: That site picked it up too: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/107881-Coder-Forces-Graphing-Calculator-to-Run-Doom

Oh my god, Mrakoplaz has his game all over the Web now :P

DJOmnimaga demonstrates the game running on a TI-Nspire graphing calculator. This is an actual port of Doom called nDoom, and not a clone.

Unfortunately, it only runs for 20-60 seconds before a problem typically occurs, so the project is still a work in progress. According to DJOmnimaga, sometimes the graphics will get distorted, the screen will turn black, or the game will totally freeze. For a machine designed to calculate y = a sin(bx + c), I'm still impressed.
Heheheh
