Programmer James Brown has developed several versions of his custom LEGO brick that can play DOOM, and the latest one includes tilt controls. Put simply, he connected an accelerometer to make DOOM playable entirely on the brick without needing an external keyboard, mouse, controller, etc. Why does the image look so strange? The reason is because you’re looking at a monochrome OLED screen with a single bit brightness level.
What could make things smoother? Upgrading the monochrome 0.42-inch OLED screen, as it would need to be swapped out for something a bit higher resolution to truly make it playable. The game runs fine using its Raspberry Pi RP2040 running off a very small battery pack. Unfortunately, Brown has not yet released a tutorial on how to build your own, nor a complete parts list.

You’re like the Nikola Tesla of bricks. This feels like what I imagined (decades ago in my youth) toys would be like in the 21st Century. Let us all know if/when you start selling these! Just incredible craftsmanship and creativity,” said one fan.
