From wikipedia (Electric light): " In technical usage, a replaceable component that produces light from electricity is called a lamp." EDIT: Yes, later in the same page: "Lamps are commonly called light bulbs;"

* "Game that ran in a 486 @ 66 MHz (for the same fps), with 4 MB RAM in 1993 running on a 80 MHz Cortex M33, with 0.108 MB RAM"

Actually, the correct technical term for "lightbulb" is "lamp", and the correct term for "lamp" is "fixture" :)

I think that the goal of the project is not "Doom running on a 40-Cortex M4" (actually an 80 M33...), which is pretty easy I guess, but "Doom running with only 108 kB of RAM", while keeping all the features (which is pretty hard, I guess). I recall that I had to bend over backwards to get it running on my 386 with only 4MB RAM.
