Sometimes i read headlines and i only go:
What?
This is horrifying and impressive in equal measure. Thanks for sharing, OP
Nice way to chain unrelated features together to make something more than it was before. I’m bookmarking this video in case I’m ever asked “what is hacking.”
As someone with a lot of web backend engineering experience, this had me yelling at the screen at a few points, but really cool nonetheless.
Worth it just to be able to put at the bottom of a website in small print, this site hosted on portal 2.
That’s cursed, I love it.
This makes me sad that the only way I can play Portal (or Portal 2) is in a 32-bit VM. a 64-bit remake would be so awesome.
It natively runs on Linux though.
There a source port of at least portal 1.

Here’s the active fork of the original project. Going through the issues of the original project, it seems to have support for building for 64 bit platforms.
No portal 2 support though. Although mentioned in the issues of nileusr’s repo is this: https://github.com/EpicSentry/P2ASW , which is interesting
Would it make that much of a difference? I doubt you’d be pushing more performance.
it was more about just being able to run it on osx again since they (Apple) removed 32-bit support some time ago.
I guess if you’re using a system that’s a bit on the low end of portals system requirements, removing the requirement of running a VM might have some noticeable effect, that’s a pretty niche problem though…
You don’t need JS to refresh the page. Well, we call it Affenformular in german, no clue what it’s in english. But it’s a learning exercise type thing, pretty basic.
I feel like the Interloper project addressed something similar to this. Man that’s a great rabbit hole.
