Gematria is an alphanumerical code which assign a number for each hebraic letter. Jewish mysticism often uses it to make esoterical connections

By watching Pi (1998) I had the idea of using gematric values of each letter in the Torah to be assigned to a NES controller input, then the game will be powered by the Torah. Here is how it works :
(gematria value) modulo 4 == 0 : unpress B
(gematria value) modulo 4 == 1 : move left
(gematria value) modulo 4 == 2 : jump (A+L)
(gematria value) modulo 4 == 3 : press B
Right is by default pressed.
I have used the gematria sidouri order, which assign numbers from 1 to 22 to hebrew alphabet.

A little demonstration:

In fact, I’m not much satisfied with what I have done, I just have arbitraly assigned these values to these inputs… Can you suggest me a more accurate method to represent Torah letters as a game input ? I didn’t go very deep in NES assembly to know how it works, but maybe the multiple inputs are represented by numbers ?

I don't know how easy it'd be to implement, but maybe you could do modulo 11 instead, with 1-10 being the ten buttons on an NES controller and 11/0 being “do nothing”?

Yes, but what makes me uncomfortable is that the assignment of a number to each button will be arbitrary :/

I don't know how I got ten, as there are actually eight buttons on an NES controller.

The NESdev wiki gives the order in which the buttons are reported: A, B, Select, Start, up, down, left, right.

Surely it will be a better choice than what I did haha. But I still think that injecting directly Torah data into RAM to make Mario move would be a more authentic demonstration. It will be a pain to script this nonetheless :')

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
