πŸ’€ WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?

This is a minimal, platform-agnostic Go port of the legendary DOOM engine, transpiled from the doomgeneric codebase. No CGo. No platform dependencies. Just pure, unadulterated demon-slaying action powered by the glory of Go's cross-compilation.

The original C code was converted to Go using (modernc.org/ccgo/v4), by cznic (https://gitlab.com/cznic/doomgeneric.git). This was then manually cleaned up to remove a lot of manual pointer manipulation, and make things more Go-ish, whilst still maintaining compatibility with the original Doom, and its overall structure.
