OK PEOPLE, time for some clearing up.  If you know all this already don't
bother reading it, it will only bore you
As (most of) you know, I was planning on making a Duke3D clone for _TI-82
ASM_.  In fact, it's in the TI-Files PUDs
I did lots of research on 3D programming, which - when I stumbled upon
raycasting - I realized was a waste.  I did extensive research on Wolfenstein-
style raycasting, and so I made a demo in TI-82 BASIC to make sure I knew all
of it.
I knew this would never satisfy the 82 crowd (and especially me), so I started
trying to find stuff on more advanced raycasting (Doom style, I guess) and
used a great doc that I found while trying to get stuff on true 3D.  This was
on world design and outlined the basic different world designs for indoor,
first person shooters.  I then found a great engine, complete with source,
that ultimately led to the complete understanding of doom raycasting (minus
variable heights)
I then announced to the list that I would be making a DEMO in 92 BASIC becuase
it would be much harder in 82 BASIC (the fact that BASIC is involved may
puzzle you, but it's a great teaching aid).  Now that demo is nearing
completion, and I will probably start on the 82 ASM version as soon as I get
home.
I hope that cleared up a lot of things for you people
