Quake ported to safe Rust and runs in the browser

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

A developer has ported the classic 1996 shooter Quake to safe Rust, making it playable directly in a web browser. The project, shared on Hacker News, is drawing attention for rewriting a landmark game engine without unsafe code, a notable technical feat for a title usually seen in C.

Why now: Recreating a landmark game engine entirely in safe Rust and running it in a browser is a striking technical achievement that appeals to both gaming and programming communities.
