Code a DOOM-like game engine from scratch in C [PART I]
1,586This 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.

Some notes to keep in mind about Part I:
- we do the minimal required work to get started
- code style 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
