Quake ported to safe Rust, playable in browser

Original: Show HN: Quake ported to safe Rust, playable in browser

A developer has ported the classic 1996 shooter Quake into safe Rust, with the result running directly in the browser. The project, shared via a playable web build, is drawing attention for demonstrating that a decades-old C codebase can be translated into Rust's memory-safe model while remaining fully playable.

Why now: Interest in Rust ports of legacy C code and browser-based retro game engines is high right now.
