Doom reportedly runs through SQL queries in a database

Lukas Vogel’s SQLDoom reportedly runs Doom’s game logic and renderer as SQL queries inside the CedarDB database. Python reportedly handles timing, keyboard input, and bitmap display, while SQL produces the game’s pixels and runs its loop.

The project uses a database query system for work normally associated with a game engine. It was reportedly designed to resemble Doom more closely than Vogel’s earlier SQL-based version, and was said to be playable on a Ryzen 7 7840U laptop, with online multiplayer also working.
