Two observations:<p>&gt; <i>Being able to view a map, like this one pulled from the game’s files, would be really helpful while playing the game</i><p>The Mac version definitely had a map<p>And it looked a lot better.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;2Helqh-R94w" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;2Helqh-R94w</a>

Creating a Wolfenstein-style engine is a great programming project if you&#x27;re learning a new language or graphics library.<p>You can smash out a flat shaded version in an afternoon, or go crazy adding all kinds of features and take it as far as you want to go.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;gYRrGTC7GtA?si=o6-l7XAPpw3z_36t" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;gYRrGTC7GtA?si=o6-l7XAPpw3z_36t</a>
