'It's DOOM, but You Can Cut, Copy and Paste Opponents'

From the Adafruit blog: Greg Technology (aka Greg Sadetsky) on YouTube demonstrates a version of Chocolate Doom where opponent characters can be cut, copied, and pasted at will to add a bit more fun to the game.
Obviously this means you can paste in your attackers multiple times. ("They're kind of not really happy if you do that..." Greg says at one point in the video. "But then, you can also cut them... like, vaccuum them out.")

In response to a comment on YouTube, Sadetsky explained that "It stores a reference to the kind of monster (every monster has a unique type number).

"So yeah, you could paste them across games!"

Hmm

That does seem like an interesting thing for multiplayer games .. if you had some sort of weapon or ability to teleport one of the monsters across to your opponents scene or even partner to handle.

Meh

I played castle Wolfenstein original and 3d, doom, quake, Duke Nukem... But this sounds totally uninteresting. Like aren't there game engine editors that can do this?

You should watch the video it will be right up your alley. Spoiler: It ends with "I don't know why I did this. Okay bye!"

Yeah even the creator thought it was meh.

Yet the world found out about it somehow... So clearly he thought it was special enough to post about.

If you could "cut" enemies and "paste" them to be on your team, that could be kinda awesome. I mean, who wouldn't want to have a Cyberdemon for backup on the harder levels?

Yeah, I don't get it either. Not sure what the big deal is.
