Per AutoModerator's request I hereby confirm that this project did not use an LLM as part of the development process.

From your own README:

Note About This README and AI Usage
I used GPT to help write this README file.
And since AI is mentioned, a few words about it:
This project contains almost 0% AI‑generated code or architecture. The only exception is that I used Claude to write the Separating Axis Theorem formulas for collision detection, because that math is a bit too heavy for me. Other than that, everything — the engine, the IDE, the language, the architecture — is hand‑written.

Almost 0% LLM code is not the same as "I didn't use an LLM", and our rules are clear on the use of LLMs.

We’re talking about 77 lines out of tens of thousands - and they’re not even part of the language project.

The zero tolerance policy exists because once a project is tainted by LLM code it's impossible to determine how far the rot spreads throughout the project.

In this case you're linking to a project that very clearly states it did use an LLM, even if only a little. "No LLM generated code" means "No LLM generated code", not "A little LLM generated code is allowed".

If the language project were for example a separate repository with no LLM generated code and the post linked to that, it would be fine. But as it stands you're sharing a project that depends on LLM output, and that's not fine.

As pedantic as this may be, it's unfortunately necessary as otherwise this subreddit will drown in LLM slop.
