i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

@rebane2001 (the link to your python script in the FAQ points at a no-longer existing file https://lyra.horse/x86css/#:~:text=I%20wrote%20a%20python%20script. :))
x86CSS

x86CSS is a working CSS-only x86 CPU/emulator/computer. No JavaScript required!

@freddy dang it, i must've mis-guessed it (i usually write the github links to files *before* i figure out what filenames or repo names i want to use, hoping it'll line up later)

@rebane2001 anyway I tried reading the source and it....gave me nothing. Looking forward to the explainer blog post, the various poorly written summaries of your emulator on "tech news" websites and the inevitable conference talk :)

@freddy heheh, the summaries will be terrible for sure

i've already seen a few ai bot comments that claim this is using checkboxes and selectors for the logic (i don't think the page has any checkboxes and all the logic happens within a single selector)
