Wolfenflickr: Wolfenstein in Flash, with your Flickr photos

Posted by Cory Doctorow, August 28, 2008 1:38 PM | permalink

Wolfenflickr is a Flash-based implementation of Castle Wolfenstein that decorates the castle's walls with random images pulled from any Flickr stream (or any Flickr tag). Shooting Nazis and looking at snapshots: two great tastes that taste great together. Wolfenflickr (via Wonderland)

Technically, it's a Flash-based implementation of Wolfenstein 3D (1992).

Castle Wolfenstein was created in 1981.

Technically, it's also not a Flash-based implementation since it's just pure JavaScript and DOM.

Technically, it's not actually Wolfenstein 3D, but a very similar looking 3D maze based on it.

The best thing about this is the picture of food from one of my favourite places to eat: St John Bread and Wine in Spitalfields

Reminds me a little of the Medal of Honor mission where you have to rescue stolen Nazi art out of some cave tucked away high in the Austrian alps...that was a tough one.

I had the original Wolfenstein on my Apple II+, and played Wolfenstein 3D on friends' computers when it first came out. It would be cool to find a Flickr stream featuring actual artworks stolen by the Nazis during the war, or stuff from the "entartete Kunst" (Degenerate Art) exhibit put on by the Nazis in the 1930s...

I am surprised no one is complaining yet about their photos being "stolen" and being displayed "without permission."

But if I strafe along the wall pressing "open" will I stumble in to rooms filled with mature content?

Technically, that content would be "immature" :)
