A developer attempts to run Pixelflut—a network-driven pixel-drawing game—on a TP-Link Archer C7 v2 router running OpenWRT with a 700MHz single-core CPU and 64MB RAM. The author chose the Rust-based Breakwater Pixelflut server for its portability and flexibility, planning to stream the output back over the network to a display.
Background
