Doom, in a Terminal

Developer parsa released terminal-doom, a version of DOOM that runs inside a terminal by compiling Chocolate Doom to WebAssembly and piping it as kitty graphics at 35fps. The project, available on GitHub at github.com/dcouple/terminal-doom, was created in 53 minutes using an AI agent orchestrated by Pane's built-in orchestrator, which parsa claims marks 'the end of the tech tree.'
