RNGs, demos and technical nonsense


Hey!

I've recently made a lot of process in terms of rendering/drawing algorithms and I'm slowly starting to implement things/actors (sprites) in to my crummy DOOM port (see https://gamejolt.com/p/knee-deep-in-carmack-s-spaghetti-tqktxc2v)
I've been thinking about what kind of an RNG (random number generator) system I should add to the game.
Should I...

[A] just copy the 255 byte RNG table from DOOM (demo compatible)

[B] make my own pseudo-random number generator (demo compatible)

[C] use the RNG provided by Scratch (not compatible with demos)

Demos in this case refer to "replays" of the player inputs, that could be shared around

If/when I get the game mostly working I'll probably share a video or two to the D7, Scratch and TurboWarp communities.

-sincerely, that one guy who keeps shoving DOOM into Scratch, Juvepa

WolfenDoom 2.5D, a game where the Imps just stand still and attack.

Textures and sprites? Good job me! Next thing on my list is giving the enemies a brain... Shouldn't be that hard...

Death, doors and crappy enemy AI, what else do you need to make a decent game?

New Shockwave 2 Optimization and Bug fix update Overhaul 1.4

You know how PS1/N64 DOOM had fancy coloured lights? Thanks to some clever pen tricks, it's in WolfenDoom 2.5D* as well! (I also added pickups, hitscanners and a crappy fisheye remover)

*title may change

CB2 Ultimate is finally out! Read below for more info!

Imagine wasting your time to create a crappy cross between DOOM and Wolfenstein 3D, who would do that?

Since the majority voted for me to release a beta, here it is Wolfendoom 2.5D version 1.0 https://turbowarp.org/471437431/fullscreen More info in the article below!

Something is wrong with my shockwave 2

A raycaster with walls that aren't all 90 degrees? Blasphemy! (I also added a basic invulnerability power up.)
