DOOM in Tableau: Play the Classic FPS Inside Your Dashboard! 🚀
DOOM in Tableau: Play the Classic FPS Inside Your Dashboard! 🚀
Following the long-standing tradition of running DOOM on any platform or system, we have taken it a step further by bringing it to Tableau! From calculators to refrigerators, and now to data dashboards, nothing is safe from the legendary FPS game. 🎮
I have created a custom extension that allows you to play DOOM directly inside a Tableau dashboard, integrating js-dos and the Tableau API. This means you can fight demons while analyzing data. 😈📊
🔥
While Tableau supports running JavaScript, Python, and other languages within dashboards, this project demonstrates that even running DOOM is possible! By leveraging web-based emulation, we’ve turned a simple data visualization tool into a retro gaming experience.- 🕹️ Fully playable DOOM inside Tableau.
- 🖥️ Auto Fullscreen Mode for an immersive experience.
- ⚡ Seamless integration with the Tableau API.
- 🎮 Konami Code activation – Unlock the game with a classic cheat.
📌 How to install and play: 1️⃣ Download the extension from the GitHub repository.
2️⃣ Add the .trex file to your Tableau Dashboard.
3️⃣ Enjoy DOOM while analyzing your data!
