Shameless plug for my own project, Quake-SRP (the Slop Rust Port). Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvVMzyxACc Browser(shareware): https://quake-srp.pages.dev/ Source: https://github.com/terrapapagalli1516/quake-srp

There's Quake-SRP (the Slop Rust Port), code here: https://github.com/terrapapagalli1516/quake-srp Playable in the browser (shareware version): https://quake-srp.pages.dev/ It's a faithful port of Quake's original software renderer. Everything happens on the CPU, which made it easier to match the original exactly. In theory the same could be done on a GPU, but I think it would be harder and messier. The trade-off with software renderer is that it's more code. With GLQuake much of the actual rendering work is handed off to OpenGL itself, i.e. the driver and the GPU. In the software renderer, the engine does all of that in its own code.

Oh my god, and the author even supplied a "proof"[0] visual diff harness... that it replicates the original game pixel for pixel. Just the cherry on top of great demonstration of our collective new superpower: asking computers to do something we can describe how to do, but would (probably) never take the time to do ourselves.

That's darn nice. I didn't even have to push the turbo button to be able to run it on my phone. I wholeheartedly bless this slop. Found the repo in the Reddit post: https://github.com/terrapapagalli1516/quake-srp https://www.reddit.com/r/quake/comments/1x1ch14/quake_srp_sl...

Code lives here - https://github.com/terrapapagalli1516/quake-srp (SRP stands for 'slop rust port'.) I think 'standing on the shoulders of giants' is the phrase for something like this. It's the confluence of browser rendering, WASM, Rust, and LLMs. For me it's less a demo of what AI can do, and more a showcase of the human effort from the past few decades on the parts that needed to fall into place for an LLM to come in at the (relatively speaking) last second and claim a win. Sure, an LLM did the port from C to Rust, but think of all the things needed for it to all work. That's pretty damn amazing, and it wasn't done with AI.

Damn, no results when I grep for 0x5f3759df in the source[0]. [0] https://github.com/terrapapagalli1516/quake-srp
