TempleOS runs within Half-Life 1 via AI integration

A developer has successfully integrated a functional instance of TempleOS into the video game Half-Life 1. The TempleOS system runs in a background QEMU emulator, with its output streamed to an in-game monitor, allowing players to interact with it directly. While Claude AI assisted with most of the integration, including VNC client and QEMU launching, the developer encountered challenges with the game's GoldSrc engine due to its age and limited documentation, particularly in hooking OpenGL.
