Hammerill

Hammerill is the personal site of a developer who publishes long-form posts about side projects, with libfpv as the centerpiece of this page. Rather than a commercial product launch, the article reads as a build log: it introduces the project, shows what it can do, and then explains the thinking behind it. The tone is casual and self-aware, and the author openly warns that the story may not match expectations.

The core of the page is a demonstration section. Readers can load Super Mario 64 directly in the browser, press a key to spawn a drone, and fly it around the level, with a separate fullscreen URL for a larger view. The author also links Reddit posts showing the same technique applied to Grand Theft Auto IV, plus a full playthrough of Super Mario 64 flown almost entirely with the quad. These examples make the abstract idea of injecting an FPV drone into arbitrary games concrete.

After the demo, the article moves into context and implementation. It traces the author’s interest back to dedicated FPV simulators like Liftoff and to FPV mods for large games such as GTA V, then frames the technical discussion around what it calls the two issues of FPV mods. The implementation section describes how libfpv addresses those problems, though the author keeps expectations modest and avoids presenting it as a finished, general-purpose tool.
