Why?
- Like Doom but much better because of the following.
- Extemely low HW demands (no GPU, no FPU, just kilobytes of RAM and storage).
- Extremely portable (much more than Doom).
- Has completely NO dependencies, not even rendering or IO, that is left to each platform's frontend, but every frontend is extremely simple (~100 LOC).
- Fits into less than 256 kb (including all content, textures etc.).
- Uses no build system, can typically be compiled with a single run of compiler.
- Doesn't need any file IO, i.e. can work without config files, save files, all content is part of source code.
- Doesn't use ANY floating point, everything is integer math (good for platforms without FPU).
- Pure C99, also a subset of C++ (i.e. runs as C++ as well, good for systems that are hard C++ based).
- Completely public domain for the benefit of all people on Earth, no conoditions on use whatsoever. All art is original work and licensed CC0 (as well as code).
- Suckless, minimal, simple.
- Single compilation unit (only one .c file to compile).
- Well documented and commented code, written with tinkering in mind.
- **Like Doom** but much better because of the following.
- **Extemely low HW demands** (much less than Doom, no GPU, no FPU, just kilobytes of RAM and storage).
- **Extremely portable** (much more than Doom).
- Has **completely NO dependencies**, not even rendering or IO, that is left to each platform's frontend, but every frontend is extremely simple (~100 LOC).

- Uses **no build system**, can typically be compiled with a single run of compiler.
- **Works without any file IO**, i.e. can work without config files, save files, **all content and configs are part of the source code**.

- **Pure C99**, also a **subset of C++** (i.e. runs as C++ as well, good for systems that are hard C++ based).
- **Completely public domain (CC0) free softare, free culture libre game** for the benefit of all people on Earth, no conoditions on use whatsoever. All art is original work and licensed CC0 (as well as code).
- **Suckless, KISS, minimal, simple**.
- Made to **last for centuries** without maintenance.
- Goes beyond technical design and also **attempts to avoid possible cultural dependencies and barriers** (enemies are only robots, no violence on living beings).
- **Creted with only completely free software** (Debian, GIMP, gcc, Vim, ...).
- **Single compilation unit** (only one .c file to compile, very fast and simple).
- Uses a **custom-made 256** color palette (but can run on platforms with fever colors, even just two).
- **Well documented and commented code**, written with tinkering and remixing in mind.
