The purpose of this project was to learn rust by doing something fun like implementing the doom renderer. Although there are many ways a doom level can be rendered, the focus has been on doing it the doom way.
You will need one of the doom wads. By default, the renderer opens the Doom 1 shareware doom1.wad. You can pass a path to an alternate one with --wad.
Run Doom 1 e1m1 using the shareware doom1.wad:
cargo run -r
Run Doom 1 e1m2 using the shareware doom1.wad:
cargo run -r --map e1m2
Run Doom 1 e2m1 using the commercial doom.wad:
cargo run -r -- --wad doom.wad --map e2m1
Run Doom 2 map01:
cargo run -r -- --wad doom2.wad --map map01
For more options, see:
cargo run -r -- --help
