Score: 8.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 9, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

Pebble is an open-source, native macOS voxel survival game built entirely in Swift and Metal with zero external dependencies, faithfully recreating the full Minecraft: Java Edition experience including worldgen, redstone, mob AI, and real-time audio synthesis. Its unique approach combines a fully deterministic engine with a rich golden test suite, hand-written Metal renderer, and generative audio, making it a technically impressive and highly ambitious project for fans and developers.

Target audience: game developers, minecraft enthusiasts, swift developers
