Building a DOOM-like multiplayer shooter in pure SQL (opens in new tab)

Krieger, is that you? You went too far with it.

I am all for catgirl holograms, so good science by Archer's Krieger on that. But SQL should not run Doom. The limits of science have been pushed beyond madness!

Well okay, "does it run Doom" comes up here frequently.

But why not solve "does it run catgirls" first, if you are a real-life mad scientist?

This is awesome - multiplayer is a great addition. Really like the cone in the mini-map too

Other efforts such as Doom (like) CAPTCHA or Doom in TypeScript types are either so incomplete, unplayable, or so absurdly abstract that it strikes me as desperate cries for attention.

That said, people have all kinds of weird interests, so to each their own. I'd just prefer these absurd efforts didn't take up so much attention that they distract from artistic efforts with more to say than "look what I can do". Even some other efforts in Doom; like "Thatcher's Techbase", "Kriegsland: Blutorden", "Blades of Agony", or HDoom.

A Postgresql-compatible HTAP. It appears to be single server and closed source. Roadmap: https://cedardb.com/docs/roadmap/

I couldn't find the site after a quick search,maybe the wayback machine.

Though there, you are still writing the main game logic in Rust or C#

Are we sufficiently far from 1993 to just “round” it all to being Doom-like? certainly it’s better for eyeballs.

Though doing all the game state updates and rendering in SQL is impressive.

now it has evolved to trying to prove turing-completeness on the least places you'd expect it to be.
