It is possible to use Portal 2 as a web server that is able to serve simple HTML pages. Furthermore, it is possible to edit said pages in the game itself!
I wanted to share this here, because I thought it might fit the theme of the forum.

This is so cool! Do you know if thereās any working examples? Iād love to see it in action.
The person who made the original video left two links in the comment section:
- GitHub - p2r3/HTTPortal: HTTP/1.1 implementation in Portal 2 Ā· GitHub
- GitHub - p2r3/p2minimap: Browser-based Portal 2 minimap experiment Ā· GitHub
The first link is a general HTTP server implementation. The second one is an example of an interactive web experience - a minimap showing a āflatā version of the gameās current map (around 10:22 in the video).
