Description
The full shareware DOOM (via kilograham's rp2040-doom) as a program card, played standalone from the panel — no screen needed. The stereo audio outs carry the game mix with enemies panned left/right, and the soundtrack itself swells and pans toward the nearest enemy: a beacon you hunt by ear. The LEDs are an enemy radar, CV outs track health and ammo, pulse outs fire on shots and damage, and the game starts at a random E1 level with a spawn director keeping one enemy within earshot.
An optional web display (Chrome, WebSerial over USB-C) streams the actual 320x200 game video onto a CRT-styled screen, with level warp, volume and sensitivity settings (saved to the card), and classic cheat codes. The game never depends on the page.
