What part of the concept was proven?

I think this is unfairly downvoted.

Anyone can think of something humans do and just playing DOOM in a browser falls well short of anything new.

All the hard stuff is missing. It's half an idea.

You could send inputs to the server, the server simulates them to see if you killed monsters.

The concept here is the UX of what it would be like if it were properly hooked up.

Just like what you would do with any captcha proposal. You’d want to mock up the UX to evaluate whether it something people can do.

Though here’s it’s just for fun.

If you take a right turn then a left and run into the corner you drop into a secret area with a chain gun, some health and a med pack. The problem is that they are waiting for you if you take the elevator back up. I have no idea how to get past them without killing to many monsters. Even shooting the barrel counts -.-

I tried to do it the intended way, but found it too difficult. I was able to cheese it by staying in the starting area and killing the enemies that spawned to the right.

IDDQD works. Just saying.

Oddly enough, IDCLIP and IDCLEV work. You can't activate any doors or switches, but you can beat E1M8 with No Clipping Mode. Then you're stuck at the "Ordering Info" screen with no way to activate the menu.

The sad thing is that this is easier than some captchas I've seen.

I remember some crap from hell with hcaptcha
