Dart Fastest Growing Language in 2023
I've been writing a CLI in Dart. It's such a good language now for stuff like this. You can compile to a small binary (it seems comparable to a Go binary in size and speed - though Go has an edge on speed it's not very far ahead), the test framework is so simple and easy and just gets out of your way... it's really been excellent. I highly recommend Dart (having written stuff in Java, Kotlin, Go and others) for CLIs. What I built is mostly based on my Dartle package, which is a task runner you can use both to build Dart code itself and to write task-based stuff like build tools - which is why i also wrote jb using it, a Java build system I am still finalizing (on top of my Java project, JBuild). I hope to one day write even a Flutter app for it.

jb (JBuild) - a modern build tool for the JVM that works similarly to great build tools like cargo (Rust) and pub (Dart) which are highly integrated and easy to use, unlike traditional Java build tools.

The System Shock remake is excellent - and Nightdive's most ambitious work yet
For what it's worth, Nightdive did release the source code for the old Mac version and there's currently a cross-platform source port in development based on it: Shockolate.

should i play the original first or the remaster
if you want a source port that looks like the original (none of that KEX engine crap that looks awful), but also has mouse look, you can try shockolate (https://github.com/Interrupt/systemshock). it's not 100% stable though and sometimes crashes. i could not figure out the reason in two full playthroughs, but it was good enough for me if i can avoid the disgusting KEX port.

Wolfenstein 3D with a CGA Renderer
Though the Ultima Underworld maps were made out of a 2D grid, the rendering was done using texture-mapped polygons - and not just that but they even used dithering for more light variations. While pretty much all objects were rendered as 2D sprites, there were a few 3D polygonal objects too.
Wolf3D has a much more limited renderer - only walls are rendered, no lighting (the shaded side for walls is actually different textures) and the viewport is fixed at the middle of the walls for example. On the other hand Wolf3D was much faster and responsive and had a larger render window than UU.
UU itself was not open sourced, however System Shock 1 which is based on the same engine was[0][1].

System Shock Remake set to launch next year on consoles and PC. New screenshots released.
I have a more modern source port that works on my Mac (Shockolate), but I still find it clunky to control. Funny how preferences and expectations change over time. I don't remember having an issue with the controls back then (or with Ultima Underworld), but now, it's just really hard for me to get past.

System Shock: Classic or System Shock: Enhanced
I don't know if you still care, but there's also Shockolate. It's meant to run on modern hardware.

What is the best System Shock Classic Source Port?
