DOOMQL – what if SQLite were the game engine?
SMRTR summary
DOOMQL is a first-person shooter where SQLite is the actual game engine , not just a data store. Every pixel, movement, collision, enemy AI, and ANSI color code is computed by SQL queries. Python only passes keystrokes and terminal dimensions, doing zero game logic. It's a wild proof-of-concept with a 36-test suite, live SQL audit tooling, and a fully playable raycaster.
