●●●●GemWizardryZero to OneRabbit Hole
Quake running in pure CSS makes you ask how this is even possible.
Strengths
- •PolyCSS renderer achieves 3D graphics in CSS alone, a genuine constraint craft feat
- •Loads actual Quake assets from pak files and runs the shareware version properly
- •Transcends gaming niche - any programmer will want to share this regardless of interest
Weaknesses
- •Purely a technical demonstration with no practical application beyond the wow factor
