What the hell. First, I thought this was crazy. How could you do anything crazy with curl? But of course, curling a bash script opens lots of opportunities. Given the right permissions, you could run an enterprise Jira server via only a curl to a bash script.
Still cool that people find more ways to play doom, but calling it "via curl" seems a little missleading to me. "Playing doom via a simple bash script" would have felt more appropriate.
Isn't it literally playing it via curl though - curl reads STDIN and transmits that to the server, which responds. The whole bash thing is completely optional and only saves you some tty setup.
