Is the original DOOM most accurately described as 2D, 2.5D, or 3D? SEG endpoints - 2D (X,Y) SECTOR heights - 1D (Z) A rendered wall requires all three components. John Romero 🤘🏽

#DOOM - Anyone else have an argument?

My obsession with 90's PC games continues with this homage to Commanche. C++ and SDL. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #pixelart #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

BACKUP PROJECTS REMOTELY! DOOMReboot engine and backup in flooded basement. Doubt recovery. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #pixelart #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

DOOMReboot Engine Recovery: WAD loading library C# port (written for kicks some time ago) has been recovered. Not a bad start! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

DOOMReboot Studio was recovered! Application was used to verify parsing of LUMP data and to learn C#/WPF #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

Recovered C++ WAD loading library! Still no complete engine yet. Found link to neat WAD iagram: formats.kaitai.io/doom_wad/index… #doom #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

Haven't recovered engine source code. Started rewriting the engine this weekend by implementing the level renderer. #doom #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

Were the original DOOM palette colors created by hand, from images, or algorithmically? John Romero 🤘🏽 #doom #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

Implemented "screen melt" animation today. Little tricky with OpenGL. Not quite perfect, but good enough I think. #doom #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

Added Sky, Animated Floors, Sprite Placeholders, Static Status Bar, and Free Look. Awake for ~48 hours. Not too shabby. #doom #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

The Final Boss - Made with the utmost respect, of course. (Added basic scripting language to engine.) John Carmack #doom #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

Break from DOOM. Rewriting everything lost taking too long. Not sure worth it. Now, writing Quake loader using DOOM engine. #DOOM #quake #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

Had no idea they put visible debug boxes in for the triggers! QuakeReboot #quake #quakespinoff #quake1 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday

Unofficial specs unhelpful to misleading. So, transform points to texture space. Find 2d bounds. Bounds/16. ceil() appropriately. Then you have w/h of lightmap. Use face's offset into all lightmap bytes and copy w*h bytes.

Big win yesterday. Lightmaps now working in Quake Engine from Scratch! Here's to an awesome 2021! #quake #quakespinoff #quake1 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #gaming #RetroGames #pcgaming #pcgamer #videogame #videogames #screenshotsaturday
