Answer 1

Another factor that hasn’t been brought up is a lot of smart devices are just running android under the hood and Doom already has many ports for android thanks to the source code being available. I remember the itrunsdoom blog talking about somebody running doom on a peloton and when they asked him how he did it his response was, “It’s just an android tablet.” At that point the most difficult part is probably just getting the device to let you install third party apk’s.
