Why Wolfenstein Was Way Ahead of It’s Time

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.

In the real world often times you have to deal with legacy code. And then it is expected from you to quickly get an overview of the code base. Sometimes there is documentation and sometimes there is basically nothing, only code. I will show you how I usually approach this type of problem.
