Very cool project. Next they should create a database with SQL. Querying my database's database with my database's SQL's SQL would be trippy.

Good stress test for your SQL parser I guess.

Very cool! I did a similar (but much simpler!) experiment by implementing perspective projection via SQL, storing meshes (vertices, edges, faces), the camera position and the screen size in tables and building a single query that generates the SVG paths (including backface culling). Running via WASM SQlite inside the web browser. [1]

  SELECT project(...) as x, project(...) as y 
  FROM model, vertex, camera, transform 
  WHERE clockwise AND clipped IN BETWEEN -1 AND 1

In the Age of AI coding, this lovely cool demos are no longer interesting anymore. I use to appreciate them by the craftsmanship and hacking aptitude they required, but now AI took away that joy of watch this for me.
