gzdoom-tui VS tweet2doom

This was all just a single bash script using whiptail (code). Still gets the job done. Basically it stores entries in a csv file with fields being mods list name, level mod, and gameplay mods for gzdoom. I was looking for an excuse to use awk which certainly isn't the best tool for the job, but it was fun nevertheless!

Someone beat him to it. https://twitter.com/tweet2doom

Hi Reddit, This is my fun side project of running Doom on Twitter! The basic idea is that the u/tweet2doom account is a Twitter bot that responds with gameplay videos based on the input that you provide it. The cool feature is that you can continue playing the game from any previous state by simply replying to the corresponding tweet. For more information how to use it, please read the instructions in the pinned tweet. If you want to make your own Twitter bot that plays Doom, checkout my Github repo: https://github.com/ggerganov/tweet2doom It provides the source code that runs the bot. You will need some basic knowledge of how to use the Twitter API. Let me know if you need any extra information about getting it to run. Getting started can be a bit confusing at first so here is a sample link to a game progression that we did last night with a stranger: https://twitter.com/tweet2doom/status/1445845544748740612 We managed to complete level E1M1 after quite some effort :D Also, I found that a cool way to explore the game state is to use the Treeverse app. Here is a sample link with the current conversation tree with all existing @tweet2doom nodes so far: https://treeverse.app/view/4jByHS3Y For those curious enough, there are some Easter eggs in the Load Game menu - see if you can find them ;) Would love to hear what you think and I will be happy to play some moves with you tonight!

Tangentially related - you can play a turn-based Doom (1993) on Twitter:

There is a tree explorer that shows you all moves that have been played so far by everyone [0]. If you are interested how I made this, you can check the Github repo [1].
