🛠️ I Turned DOOM into a Transformer
Summary
Doomformer is a transformer built entirely using DOOM game mechanics, voodoo dolls, and thousands of DOOM games as an alternative to NumPy. It can classify MNIST digits, generate text, and even play DOOM using a marine controlled by DOOM.
Why it’s interesting
It is a Turing-complete implementation of a transformer using DOOM game mechanics instead of standard programming libraries.
