Show HN: I Turned DOOM into a Transformer

https://github.com/mottopanikeiku/doomformer
23•falperc•1h ago
Instead of trying to run DOOM on things, I have instead decided to use DOOM (many, many, many doom games actually) to create a transformer. For a lot of the math required I essentially had to use DOOM game mechanics and voodoo dolls (DOOM is turing complete btw) and exchange them with the actual operations, essentially creating an alternative to NumPy (a 65000x slower one). Thus, I am proud to present DOOMFORMER. Here are a list of things DOOMFORMER can do :

It can classify MNIST digits, even if you write these digits on the map!

It can talk(kinda)

You can use it to make decisions, so, it can play DOOM. Yes! You can play DOOM with thousands of DOOM games now! The marine's mind can be controlled by DOOM, playing on a map generated by DOOMFORMER. Truly, the possibilities are endless, and even larger-scale training of DOOMFORMER could be done on a measly T4.

If anyone would like to help me scale this up and make crazier things, I'd love to work together.

now everything can run on DOOM ?

you can theoretically build fable on doom

amazing

This is absolutely incredible. I feel like this could help visualize a neural network, but you have to know a lot about DOOM to really understand it.

you have to know a lot about lots and lots of DOOMs, in parallel

Self-plug I have a very similar blog post title but a very different approach. Honestly, I like your idea more than my own idea. https://nostalgia.dev/posts/running-doom-inside-a-transforme...

what if you run doom on doomformer?

I havent fully recursed but what I have done with this is use a DOOMformer to generate a level, have python compile it, have DOOMformer generate the name of the level, and use a DOOMformer brain to complete said level. I have also trained said DOOMformer (you can see the levels "weights" updating as it trains) to aim better lol
