Roughly 30 years ago a computer game was made that awed the players upon its release, revolutionized the genre and inspired creative folks to produce hacks and new adventures for it for years to come.
The title of the game was Wolfenstein 3D, and one very peculiar garden it blossomed in was Apple Mac.
In these days of Wolf4SDL, LZWolf, and general advancement of modding, projects that exceed the original Wolfenstein 3D in features and scope are reasonably common.
Back in 2003 however, modding using changes to the source code was still in it's infancy. People were still fumbling around discovering things, and major features like floor and ceiling textures were still new.
So when Kreml 3D was announced, it caught immediate interest from the general community.
When it came to gaming, my Grandad probably had the biggest impact on me as a kid.
I remember being very young and making a trip to his house with my parents and very young brother, only to be blown away by what would now be a fairly "meh" sort of a game compared to nowadays, but I enjoyed thoroughly as one of the first I ever got to play.
It's now been a year since the new, creator-oriented Wolf3D.net went live, and I am delighted with where we are now.
When Wolfsource (Now Wolf3D.net) first started in 2019, it started with an aim to provide a platform for fans of Wolfenstein 3D and other Wolf3D games to chat and find Wolf3D content. Providing a News Website and a stable Discord, Wolf3D.net filled a hole that had been present for several years, and was well received.
Also known as -Helvete- or simply Helvete, Castle Helvete was to be an ambitious game by ChiefRebelAngel that teetered on the edge of completion before as is often the case, real life obligations intervene.
Originally announced in July of 2004, ChiefRebelAngel came in strong for his first game announcement, showing off his artistic skills in an unofficial sequel story to Wolfenstein 3D, taking place after the third episode of the game, "Die, Führer, Die!".

A basic RPG-style levelling system
Guide Tags: Intermediate, CodingEngine(s): DOS, Wolf4SDL 1.9
Many games from all genres take inspiration from RPGs in the form of a "level-up" system. This system typically rewards the player "experience points" for tasks, and gives the player a "level" when a milestone is hit. Each level will generally make the player stronger in some way.
For this guide, we'll be introducing such a system to Wolf3D. By the end you will have a functional but basic system for levelling, where kills will reward experience, and levels will influence the amount of damage weapons do.

sbarprot: Advanced HUD customization in LZWolf
Guide Tags: ECWolf/LZWolf, IntermediateEngine(s): LZWolf

This guide will take you through how sbarprot works, and some example changes that can be made using it.
