wadzilla

@quuxplusone and all I fixed my dunderheaded debug output commit that meant the "outputs ZIL" was a lie. This temporarily puts us back to a state where the Things have no locations in the ZIL, but I am working on that. I just wanted to show that it is back on track. Thanks Q+1! https://github.com/scottvr/wadzilla/commit/b92f90070726088ba...

+1 to what vijayr02 said: you really need at least screenshots, and ideally just post the .z5 file with a link to iplayif so people can play it directly and see what you're talking about.

Wadzilla is currently a PoC. Although in theory it “works”, it does not create an entertaining experience as a game, although to me it is quite fun just too see it output ZIL for all of the rooms in a DOOM WAD, with all of the objects in all of their correct locations by their plain English names, along with the 8-character names for the textures of the walls, floors, and ceilings in their relative positions in the room. Part of that enjoyment of course comes from knowing what it entails just to get that far, so the amount of entertainment you derive from that may be far less. In fact, I suspect that for most people at this point the most amusing thing about Wadzilla will be the very concept of its existence - and of course the name, which I will take credit for while also acknowledging how fortuitous it is that the project practically na
