Joran from TigerBeetle here!

This is a “walking sim” real visualization of our Deterministic Simulation Testing harness, the VOPR.

Typically we do DST headless in the terminal but this is a visualization, more or less the same thing but with a gaming engine on top.

It’s running real TigerBeetle code, but with simulated network/storage and fault injection, and multiple replicas in a cluster, all compiled to WASM and running in the browser, and you can interact with the simulation to poke it and watch the consensus recover.

Here’s the full background context and explanation from our talk, TigerStyle, for which we developed this sim: https://youtu.be/w3WYdYyjek4

How is the graphics being rendered - is that also a Zig frontend compiled into WASM (maybe using SDL?) through JavaScript in the browser?
