This is part I of the DOOM-like game engine from scratch tutorial.

It introduces the basics of 2.5D (Pseudo-3D) graphics rendering and movement mechanics. Also concepts such as portals, rendering, world transformations, and others.

You can download the source code from here: https://github.com/jeuxdemains/DOOM-like-game-engine-part-I

Some notes to keep in mind about Part I:
- we do the minimal required work to get started
- code style and clarity is not really the focus here
- back-to-front rendering (i.e. Painter's algorithm) is a bad idea, it will be revisited in Part II
- sorting sectors by their centroids with bubble sort is very inefficient and lacks precision -- it's there just to leave you with a bit more compete solution until part II comes out

<p>Its time to jump back to my lovely C</p>


<p>jdh reference, he too made a quake like engine in C a while back. The idea is pretty cool</p>
