Video Description

Comment, like, subscribe, let’s trigger the algo! In this video I analyze the legendary project Wolfenstein 3D by id Software. In my opinion this is the first real FPS. The focus will be on software architecture, technical limitations, technical concepts. I remember being 10 years old and playing this game. It was just different than anything else I have ever seen.

I will show you how I usually approach this type of problem.
