About the project
Using an arduino, my real alarm clock, and a small screen, I was able to turn my alarm clock into a device that plays doom.

Story
I decided to make this because of the "Can it run doom meme?" where people port Doom (1993) to anything with a transistor. I haven't seen as many doom ports to an alarm clock (there is some), so I decided to try my hand at it. This project runs on an Arduino that is loaded up with the DOOM UNO code for Arduino (Which you can find here: https://github.com/daveruiz/doom-nano). After that I had to put a screen inside the alarm clock and then do a bunch of wiring.
My full YouTube video on this project sums up the whole thing pretty well:
