LE PROLONGEMENT DE L’AVENUE SOULIGNY ABANDONNÉ - EST MÉDIA Montréal
Selon le Plan québécois des infrastructures (PQI) 2025-2035, publié la semaine dernière en même temps que le dernier budget provincial, le ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (MTMD) aurait décidé d'abandonner le projet.Emmanuel Delacour (Est Média Montréal)
Nicola Wrachien with Silicon Labs created this fun handheld, porting Quake using the Arduino Nano Matter. For easy playing a custom controller shaped board was designed with joysticks and a screen.

For a much tougher challenge, a group from Silicon Labs decided to port DOOM‘s successor, Quake, to the Arduino Nano Matter Board platform instead even though this platform has some pretty significant limitations for a game as advanced as Quake.

To begin work on the memory problem, the group began with a port of Quake originally designed for Windows, allowing them to use a modern Windows machine to whittle down the memory usage before moving over to hardware. They do have a flash memory module available as well, but there’s a speed penalty with this type of memory. To improve speed they did what any true gamer would do with their system: overclock the processor. This got them to around 10 frames per second, which is playable, but not particularly enjoyable.
The further optimizations to improve the FPS required a much deeper dive which included generating lookup tables instead of relying on computation, optimizing some of the original C programming, coding some functions in assembly and only refreshing certain sections of the screen when needed.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/206/081/241/901/037/original/72dec8d287dd1c33.png "[ImageSource: Nicola Wrachien]

The feat was devised by Software Engineer Dmitri Mitropoulos, founder of Michigan Typescript and co-founder of Squiggleconf. He released a video showcasing the results of a year-long effort to get Doom running inside of Typescript's Types system.

Typescript is a language built on top of Javascript, that add static typing to catch many errant mistakes before your executes, think of it as guardrails which check that functions and other variables are being used correctly. While this is commonly used in all kinds of development, it's unheard of to run a game within Typescript's Type system.
The port itself runs inside three and a half trillion lines of types, totalling a gargantuan size of 177 TB. This is run through Typescript's Type tracker, which takes 12 days to compile the first frame of Doom (0.0000009645 fps). This meant that 20 million type instantiations were running every second in order to get the output.
Mitropoulos explained in the Michigan TypeScript Discord server that this could be improved to take "1 to 12 hours", as long as someone works on it, with the developer noting that he has notes for where potential performance optimizations could be made.
<https://discord.gg/pfKUSmSY>
This was done by running the project within a custom WASM runtime, which is then processed through Typescript within an editor to display a frame.

![Dmitri Mitropoulos further explained that each value within the Typescript Types system equates to a line of pixels [totalling 128,000 lines of pixels in total], resulting in a "resolution" of 320x200, displayed in ASCII.
To do this, the developer needed to remove limitations within the Typescript compiler itself, highlighting just how large the project got, with the Type tracker runtime consuming over 90 GB of RAM while it was running.
This huge overhead meant that common tools within Typescript could not be used, which meant that the herculean task of encoding every element of Doom in types. This required learning to develop elements like an L1 CPU cache, within Typescript Types itself. Due to Typescript requiring iteration on a single string from the left-hand side, binary algorithms had to be input in reverse.
"Oh, and AI can't help" Dmitri Mitropoulos added, describing that the work was so low level that AI couldn't possibly assist with any of the tasks. Too bad, Grok 3.
Mitropoulos said that he undertook the challenge after completing "every other" Types challenge, and wanted to understand why Doom wouldn't be able to run within Types. However, he managed to find "ridiculous" workarounds to make it all work, despite his own disbelief in the project.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/166/742/069/675/680/original/110e43577d22fe1d.jpeg "Dmitri Mitropoulos further explained that each value within the Typescript Types system equates to a line of pixels [totalling 128,000 lines of pixels in total], resulting in a \"resolution\" of 320x200, displayed in ASCII.

Fan made Dreamcast Port of GTA 3 [Steals the Show].Thanks to [Stefanos] and his team, the genre defining Grand Theft Auto III [GTA 3], can now run on Sega’s hardware. Their combined efforts have yielded a fully playable port of the PC version of the game for Sega Dreamcast.

![The porting effort was years in the making. It began with reverse engineering the entire source code of GTA 3 then implementing it into the homebrew SDK for the Dreamcast, KallistiOS.

Steps for those seeking to compile a bootable Dreamcast image of their own have been provided on the project’s website.

As it turns out, Sega’s long defunct Dreamcast console is still thinking. The company behind the machine cut support long ago due in part to the commercial pressures applied by Sony’s PlayStation 2 console, but that never stopped the most dedicated of Dreamcast fans from seeking out its true potential.
This port of GTA 3 represents what could have been a true butterfly effect moment in console gaming history. The game was a major hit in the early days of the PlayStation 2, and it has been theorized that it could have proven to be a major commercial success for Sega as well had it been pressed onto a Dreamcast GD-ROM disc.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/087/248/031/147/040/original/9e05caf297cb79fb.png "[ImageSource: Stefanos]

In the years since 1997, the landmark release of the Nokia 6110 and its inclusion of Snake, we have seen the game is ported to countless devices. This DOS version of Snake does have one key glitch that makes it more challenging to play than your typical versions of Snake.

If you fancy yourself a finesser, you must play this version of Snake without inputting backward inputs (as soon as you have more than three length), lest you immediately devour yourself and die. Usually, Snake doesn't make self-devouring this easy, so you have to be ultra-precise with your movements to play this DOS port of Snake adequately, which is a suitable bump in difficulty for the retro OS and hardware, even if it's a glitch.
It works perfectly fine in DOSBox and the web app, at least in terms of game speed.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/113/929/007/269/175/209/original/7b3b36b7ecff5549.jpeg "[ImageSource: donno2048]
