Bobby Prince, whose catchy tunes you might remember from such video game soundtracks as Doom, Commander Keen, Blake Stone, Word Rescue, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Wolfenstein 3D, and many more, has passed away at the age of 81. He'll be long remembered for the bangin' soundtrack he composed for Hell, and now Heaven's getting one too. Goodnight sweet Prince!

A small game similar to Wolfenstein 3D made entirely in JS. No WebGL just the HTML 5 canvas api.

I’ve been building a Wolfenstein 3D / ES: Arena-style renderer from scratch in plain JavaScript on the HTML5 Canvas. This isn’t WebGL; it’s a real, authentic, old-school raycaster using the same techniques as those games: per-column DDA ray stepping on a 2D grid, proper distance-corrected texturing, floor/ceiling casting, a z-buffer for sprite occlusion, Archways, Mid Textures, windows you can see through (Portals Sorta.) the works.

This last update smooths out Firefox support, smoother performance, and a bunch of gameplay/visual upgrades. If you’re into retro tech or just curious how 90s 3D was faked, give it a spin and tell me what you think.
