🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so. Wolf4SDL is an open-source port of id Software's classic first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D, ported over to the cross-plattform multimedia library Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) over at http://www.libsdl.org. the whole vibe is: keep the original feel, but highkey take advantage of some improvements. slay. 💅

and now for the lineup of binaries, because there are so many of them and each one is a different flavor of iconic:

• wolf4sdl-wl6 → starts Wolf3d Full v1.4 GT/ID/Activision
• wolf4sdl-wl6a → starts Wolf3d Full v1.4 Apogee (with ReadThis)
• wolf4sdl-wl6a1 → starts Wolf3d Full v1.1 Apogee (with ReadThis)
• wolf4sdl-wl1 → starts Wolf3d Shareware v1.4
• wolf4sdl-sod → starts Spear of Destiny Full and Mission Disks
• wolf4sdl-sdm → starts Spear of Destiny Demo

and the wolf4sdl wrapper script? she's the main character fr — she automatically runs the engine that fits the data files found in /usr/share/games/wolf3d. no manual picking required, she just knows. 👑
