I hope you will appreciate and enjoy it as well. Let me know what you think and I would be thankful if you would share this post.

A playable version of #DOOM on an #LEGO brick using a @[email protected] #RP2040 by @ancientjames. Uses an accelerometer and tilt for movement, and a capacitance touch sensor to shoot.
