In 2006, Ars Technica published an April Fool's article[0] declaring that the perennially-forthcoming Duke Nukem Forever would finally see the light of day... as... a browser game ! Ho ho, how droll. Crazy to see how far we've come. [0]: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2006/04/forever/

Is CSS that awesome? It's still a language designed for styling webpages with 30 year of added features. I'd argue something purpose built would be a much better tool for the potential usecases people try to use CSS for now. I guess I am asking, if modern CSS is so awesome, it's awesome compared to what exactly?

Works smoothly in Firefox. But the default key mapping is busted: fire at Alt means that it opens and closes the menu in Firefox with each press. Also, Alt + left arrow ends the game and goes back in history. Interestingly, it was more choppy in Chromium. I could not find a key for moving sideways ("strafing"). All in all, quite mind-boggling.
