It let me through despite trying to attack a cacodemon with a pistol.
With it being so famously portable, I was expecting this to actually run Doom in the browser and complete a simple map.

Who else is missing the forest for the trees? It turns out you have to focus on the merit of the contribution instead of inconsequential UI design optimization. Didn’t know a simple demo (with disclaimers) from someone who is clearly doing something novel could be commented on this badly.
> inconsequential UI design optimization I tapped "click to start" on my phone a few times, saw nothing happened and assumed it didn't work on mobile and tapped back to come read the comments. I am neuroatypical, though, maybe I don't count as human.

Same reaction here.

#103Who else is clicking "click to start" like me? It turns out you have to choose one of the buttons. I thought they are there to allow me to enable/disable the sound, but they also both act as start buttons. Didn't know a simple interface with a sound switch and a game start button can be designed this badly.
Not me.

#104Absolute banger. But the auto-aim on vertical axis is missing. You should be able to have the crosshair under an enemy and still hit them. But in any case, nicely done!
Here's the real Doom player!

Twist: the real capcha is detecting if the user first press on "click to start"

MathDoku does that and I hate it, because sometimes cookies expire and it plays loud music in the middle of the night when I start it. What's wrong with [ CLICK TO START ] [x] Allow sound Keep it simple
I think most people would agree your solution is preferable, but the spirit of this subthread was "what's the smallest change that would improve things" rather than "how could it be redesigned from scratch?" I would also argue the MathDoku problem is different. That sounds like a mode confusion type issue, where the user expects a certain level of automation but it has been disabled by the system without adequate fee…
What's wrong with "start with sound" and "start without sound"? That's a guaranteed single click, whereas with a checkbox you need either one or two clicks.

#109I want a doom progress window that allows a user to play doom while waiting for a task to complete

Agreed, I really like this demo, seems like a fun concept that adds some sparkle to a typically mundane thing.
Getting so pedantic about a minor point seems like it does more to stifle creativity and innovation and that it does to help.
