Doom has been ported to fucking digital cameras.

I remember seeing Carmack show off this dorky fucking smartwatch at a developer's conference in 2003. He had managed to get Doom running at about 12fps on it. It had a mercury-based accelerometer and a shitty resistive touchscreen, so you tilted the watch to move and tapped to shoot.

Gravity gun just adds to the transform/force of an object if that exists in the engine already it wouldn't be to simple to modifier objects with colliers and pull them towards the player.
