You Can Play Doom On Twitter Now Jenny Zheng Doom is "playable" on Twitter now thanks to a bot called Tweet2Doom created by Georgi Gerganov. Here's how it works: You send the bot a series of keyboard commands, and the bot spits out a video with corresponding Doom gameplay. For example, you can start a new game by replying to the bot with the text, "/play x,,e,,e,,e,,50-,50-u,15-f." That translates to getting past the main menu, waiting for 50 frames for the screen wipe to finish, walking forward for 50 frames, and shooting for 15 frames.
