Made by Per Bergland and, funnily enough, Max Tegmark.

There's also a slightly saner variant called Frac which is only 3D.

Also, anybody else find it a bit amazing that we can emulate DOS games in our frickin' browsers‽

I do, but not since like... 2012? I remember being in high school and coming across DOS games on websites, in browser. Absolutely crazy stuff haha. Not saying that it's not still impressive, just that it's been many years since the initial impressed!

Hey I still get impressed by smartphones and I've had one for almost 20 years now. I also remember when the emscripten LLVM-to-asm.js compiler came out which was one of the first tools that allowed people to compile pretty surprising things for browsers, and I definitely still get impressed by the fact that we can emulate old systems in our web browsers which were absolutely not intended for that.
