Details:
This project is created as a graduation project for my FutureGames education. The goal in this project is to create an rendering engine using Vulkan API and render original DOOM(1993) level with it. The way I decided to do so is to read the original DOOM .wad file and get the required information from there.
​
In the original DOOM they used to "fake" 3D, meaning the levels are actually stored in 2D sectors that are projected to look like 3D. In this project after finishing rendering part my first goal was to create a way to get meaningful information from the .wad file
