DOOM CAPTCHA is a project that replaces traditional CAPTCHAs with a short game of DOOM in the browser to verify users are human. It utilizes Emscripten to port the game into WebAssembly, allowing for a playable experience within a webpage. The project, initially conceived in 2021, has been recently revitalized with optimizations and enhancements.
While a fun and engaging concept, DOOM CAPTCHA is not intended as a serious anti-bot measure due to the ease with which AI can be trained to complete the game. The project serves as an educational and entertaining example of how CAPTCHAs could evolve, while acknowledging the ongoing need for more sophisticated bot detection methods.
