CAPTCHAs are little skill tests that websites use to verify that you are a human being and not a bot. There are many different types of CAPTCHAs, but there is at least one that has at least one feature: the CAPTCHA is a "human" that is not a bot, but a human being.

But what if we lived in a world where CAPTCHAs didn't suck? Developer Miquel Camps Orteza is perhaps the only developer who has asked himself that question, and in doing so has created an imp-shooting CAPTCHA that actually feels fun to solve.

It's called the DOOM CAPTCHA, and it involves shooting three Doom imps in a short (almost too short) amount of time. Oddly enough, the imps exist in Wolfenstein's world, but that discrepancy is not a problem since it is fun to shoot imps wherever they are.

Camps Orteza writes on the CAPTCHA Github page that he "came up with the idea this Friday, developed the first version on Saturday morning, published it that night, and released it here on Sunday." It also states that it is fairly easy to "break the security" of CAPTCHAs and that the project is primarily for fun. In keeping with the theme, you can skip it altogether by typing IDDQD while the CAPTCHA is running.

But it makes you think of another world where CAPTCHAs are not painful, confusing, and sometimes mind-numbing pests. If you'd like to give it a try, head over to Camps Orteza's Github page.
