Run Doom on Google Sheets

Shouldn't this be "Render Doom on Google Sheets", given the processing is done in GScript? I'm sure there is a way to actually run frame-by-frame Doom with only cell equations.

true. can any current gen AI be given a prompt "create game [X] in spreadsheet" and it just works?

You asked a yes or no question. Not sure what you were expecting.

I was hoping for someone to share some cool prompts to get close to a working arcade-style game in spreadsheet. idk.

So you asked a yes or no question, expected the answer must be yes, and wanted people to offering you examples?

Maybe you should have asked a different question.

"Run any DOS game via JS-DOS, a JS wrapper of DOSBox, render to small offscreen canvas, present frame in Google Sheets" is more correct but it makes a less catchy title.
