Show HN: Iron-Wolf – Wolfenstein 3D source port in Rust github.com

The goal is to have a pixel, mod-friendly perfect recreation of Wolfenstein 3D in Rust.

Wolfenstein is peanuts compared to writing your own doubly linked list.

This is cool! Wolfenstein will always have a place in my heart.

You should add it to https://hnarcade.com

Game would be considered too politically incendiary if released today.

Or the other way around. Wolfenstein 3D was first banned in Germany in 1994, but unbanned in 2018: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/08/german-ratings-board-...

Wolfenstein 3D was pretty squarely a WWII fantasy shooter. Only later does it get into the alternate history post-war stuff which does get somewhat more squarely political.

I think it cuts both ways. The Wolfenstein franchise has obviously relished in violence against Nazis, but also inadvertently is part of the trend of glorifying them.

Nice job. Couple notes for the web version:

- Once started the shareware game on Chromium browsers seems to flicker like crazy which displays the "B.J. Blazkowicz" face.

- You missed adding the classic code that everyone knows, M-L-I!

The flickering happens in Firefox too.
