It would be interesting to dig into the earlier alphas and find the original rendering algorithm based on "sector lists." Then you could extract that code, put it in a modern DOOM port, and see for yourself what its failings were by constructing different maps and trying to run them under it.


I suppose there's no reason not to try it.

I thought we could. Unless you mean something other than this section of the screen, which I must've missed.

I really enjoyed watching that, very interesting stuff. I think my favorite bit was how John's map design pushed some of the technology behind the engine, and not the other way around. I think that's probably why Doom's map format potential is so deep while being relatively simple.

Those who have trouble with the original site and/or its embedded player can now watch the postmortem on YouTube - link.

Slides + audio only, the video footage is IMO completely dispensable, except for the first ten seconds when Tom attempts to express his feelings towards DOOM via an interpretative dance. Too low res to make out even face features, anyway.

I love how both of them really seem to know their stuff, even after all these years. Nearly made me jump for joy when they got the map numbers right each time... not like that's a huge deal or anything, but it was still a big relief after recently seeing Willits botch something just as simple.

Yeah, because it's not as if it was the highlight of their careers or anything.
