Developer builds Doom-like game using SQLite as game engine with GPT-5.6 Sol

Peter Gostev created DOOMQL, a small Doom-like game where SQL handles movement, collision, enemies, combat, progression and every pixel on screen, built using GPT-5.6 Sol. The project implements a full ray tracer in SQLite using recursive queries as a demonstration of what becomes possible when a database becomes the game engine rather than merely a game's data store.
