Peter Gostev has created 'DOOMQL', a Doom-like game entirely powered by SQLite, where SQL handles movement, collision, rendering, and game logic. The project demonstrates a massive recursive CTE acting as a ray tracer within the database, showcasing extreme creative use of SQL capabilities.
Background
SQLite is typically used as a lightweight embedded database for storing application data rather than executing complex procedural logic or graphics rendering.
