    vkQuake-RmlUi

    Quake's entire menu and HUD system rebuilt in HTML/CSS using RmlUI, integrated into the Vulkan source port via 7,000+ lines of AI-written C++.

    Ripped out vkQuake's entire immediate-mode menu and HUD and replaced it with RmlUI. HTML/CSS-authored UI with declarative data binding. Custom Vulkan render interface, cvar sync, input bridging, all through a C interface layer. The AI wrote the C++. I directed.
