You don't even need to cheese it when everything is client side, so there's no way for the server to verify you actually killed the required amount of enemies.
…hang on, this is starting to feel like Elliptic Curve cryptography: it’s trivial to prove a demo file is a “solution” to a random-seeded Doom map, but nontrivial to work-backwards to generate a demo-recording.
The heart of Bitcoin is just "Find me a number between 0xf80000 and 0xff0000 whose SHA-1 hash starts with eight zeroes..."
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.
i would probably choose to use doom captcha even if it takes 5 times longer. it is proven that at least people will interact with this if they wouldnt with traditional ones
jk robots can do this now
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.
Nah, it's all the idea but half (or less) the implementation.
Still counts as a PoC by many definitions. I've been handed less complete proofs to continue ("we fleshed this out in Excel in the client meeting, said we could have it done for real by Tuesday, can we?").
