A Doom 1 & 2 level renderer written in Rust using modern OpenGL 3+ shaders and VBOs. It is an idiomatic Rust reimplementation of the Doom renderer (not a C port), requiring a WAD file to load levels and assets.

Use cases

• render doom levels with a modern opengl renderer
• view doom wad maps with a free flying camera
• learn how the doom bsp renderer works
• play around with a rust doom source port
• replicate original doom 256-color palette lighting
• explore doom wad files in rust

When to choose

• you want a modern OpenGL renderer for Doom levels without slime-trail glitches
• you want to study idiomatic Rust code that parses WAD files and renders BSP geometry
• you want a free-flying camera viewer for Doom 1 and 2 maps

When to avoid

• you want a complete playable Doom game with enemies, weapons, and gameplay
• you need a battle-tested, feature-complete Doom source port like GZDoom
• you need multiplayer or mod support
