I'm not sure what your point is here. My point was it was easy in 2008 I'm sure it is as easy or easier now so a first person game isn't that impressive. I have massive respect for the people who do it from scratch. Especially the ones who were pioneers in the 90's and earlier.

Programming a game from scratch, even a simple looking one without the aid or modern APIs is certainly much more difficult. Which is why I was saying this posting is amiss by excluding the fact this Github project uses older techniques from the title.
