This is crazy: Someone uploaded a playable version of the DOOM videogame as an ordinal on the blockchain
As a developer myself I really like this one. Many of you should know what ordinals are by now. But if not, an ordinal is a way of inscribing data into individual satoshis. And all the data is completely stored *on the blockchain.* The data can be a single line, a page of text or photos making the ordinal similar to an ERC-20 NFT. But it can also be sound and video, or in this case, a whole videogame.
And on the last point, someone inscribed the DOOM videogame on the Bitcoin blockchain using ordinals. You can view and play the game off your own browser here: https://ordinals.com/content/521f8eccffa4c41a3a7728dd012ea5a4a02feed81f41159231251ecf1e5c79dai0

DOOM is one of the most ported videogames across systems for things like homebrew, if you’re into modding videogame systems. I was a bit generous when I called it the DOOM game, as it’s more of a DOOM clone, but most versions of DOOM nowadays *are* clones anyway.
To give a brief explanation, the developer inscribed certain byte-code into the blockchain using ordinals. When this code is opened using a browser, it is translated to a bunch of HTML CSS and Javascript that the internet browser reads and interprets as…well a playable DOOM videogame clone. The code is (probably) only meant to work using a PC browser, a mobile browser made be problematic.
^(As a nerd, I think this was worth causing a bit of Bitcoin congestion. Don't kill me.)
