• Inspired by the recent release of the teaser for PooM, I thought I'd dust off my basic attempt at my own DooM style renderer. Not quite as impressive, but it's a start! This is just a side tangent though, so I probably won't do much more on this for a while. #pico8

• Also, this renderer is closer to Duke3D's engine than DooM. Maybe I'll do a remake and call it "Puke Nukem 3D"... err, maybe not. #pico8

gardener's note: this was such a pain in the ass. I based this engine almost solely on this YouTube video. Implementing the depth buffering to do front-to-back rendering was way harder than expected.
