Developer successfully runs this game on Windows Notepad, here’s how – Times of India

Windows Notepad is a simple text editor that has been around since the 1980s. This software commonly allows users to create and edit basic text documents. Now, a developer has used this basic text-creating software to run a first-person shooting game at 60fps. A developer named Sam Chiet has created and demonstrated a fully operable version of Doom in the Windows Notepad text editor. Chiet has uploaded a video showing the game running on a “completely unmodified” version of the Notepad on both Twitter and YouTube.

Chiet has also confirmed that he will soon publicly release the Notepad version of the classic FPS title.

In a follow-up tweet, the developer claimed that ‘NotepadDoom’ will need some more work before it is released to the public. He has also confirmed that this development will happen over the next couple of days.

Playing Doom on unique platforms
The new ‘NotepadDoom’ joins a long list of unique platforms where the classic FPS title can be played after three decades of the game’s release. Earlier this year, a YouTube user uploaded a clip that showed him playing Doom inside the game itself.
At first, the video showed the uploader modding the game into itself and then he demonstrated the actual gameplay of him playing Doom within Doom on PC.

Apart from this, there have been other recent examples of the game being played on unique platforms. These unique Doom playing platforms include – an ATM, a McDonald‘s kiosk, a treadmill, Twitter and even in a pregnancy test.
