- Well, I dont think flying is all that hard... I almost added it myself to the

-
- Look up/down should definately be there for Heretic - for some bits its

- No, it'll probably be a build time option, as there are also a number of things
- which will need changing between the different versions (eg. how to draw the
- status bar - totally different in Heretic than Doom. [no face, health chain,
- different coords IIRC], the monsters behavior/attributes and some nameing
- conventions, to name a few...)
-
- This would also have a [very] minor impact on speed...
-
- I guess you'd just have a bit at the top of DOOM.S like...
-
- DOOM = 1 ; don't really need to be
- DOOMII = 2 ; separate, except for ExMx and MAPxx, and we cope fine now
- HERETIC = 3
- BADMOOD = 4
-
- GAMETYPE = HERETIC
-
- And then everything that is different could just test GAMETYPE with a piece
- of conditional assembly... This could also save us from having to type the
- IWAD name, as you'd know that for DOOMII its DOOM2.WAD etc.

- >How the look up and don shpuld be done I dont have a clue though...

- Yea...
