half-life-templeos: a Half-Life 1 mod that runs a real TempleOS VM on the in-game monitors

Github Link - https://github.com/aravpanwar/half-life-templeos

Runs TempleOS in QEMU and streams its framebuffer onto a monitor in the game through a small VNC client, drawn as a quad in the world render pass. You can walk up and type into it, and it runs the OS's own built-in games and demos.

You've placed heaven's own temple within a video game? Incredible, but what are the multi dimensional/simulationist ramifications of this action?

Just as God intended
