Firstly, your link is broken. Secondly, you should get someone to make you some art (or better yet, make it yourself) instead of using resources from DOOM.

Ok here's the link,

Yes, I know, it's not the most original artwork. I'm working on original artwork for my next title, but I'm not much of an artist.

Engine works nicely, but there's a bit of work to do on gameplay, as it is it's not extremely interesting.

It's not working very well in WINE, I'll try it in windows later.

I'm interested, did you made the engine from scratch?
In what language? How long did it take you?

I used Gamemaker's 3D drawing functions, so it wasn't from scratch. I just had to take care of higher order functionality (eg, shadows) and all of those features would have taken a few weeks. I worked on and off for a month or two.

I'm currently learning c++.

Good, good, If you have time I'd recommend you try doing a simple engine from scratch (once you learn c++), it's always a fun and useful experience. In my opinion, it's the best way to fortify your knowledge and learn about low-level stuff that's going on behind the scenes.

Thanks for the advice!
