    It doesn't look like any human has reviewed this.

    - Retro torus: wrong z index.

    - Wireframe globe: Has wrong projection.

    - I, Robot polygons: Looks too different from the actual game.

    - Wolfenstein raycaster: wasd moves to wrong direction.

    - PS1 affine warp: Shows a glitched plane.

    - Utah teapot: Also wrong z index, and what is this?? This must be the worst Utah teapot ever created.

    - Glenz vectors: Also wrong projection.

    - Penrose tiling: Might a nitpick, but why can I drag to pan? It's not like you can zoom.

    - Spaghetti vortex: This says it's from 2026, so not a retro? And the thumbnail shows UI(that I can't interact) only.

    It makes me sad to see these projects...

    Also the descriptions are too vague. For example, what does "GL workstation · 1993" mean? How about "Metaballs · 1995"? "IRIX · 1994"? I tried to find the original renders but I couldn't.
