  Description     : DOOM engine from the 1997 Linux source release, on
raylib

 raylibdoom is id Software's 1997 Linux DOOM source release
 (linuxdoom-1.10), ported from X11 and OSS to the raylib library and
 made to run on 64-bit systems. The original software renderer is kept:
 it draws the 320x200 paletted picture, which raylib shows scaled to
 4:3, with sound effects and OPL3-emulated music. It also reads
 UMAPINFO, so episodes such as SIGIL show up in the menus.

Why: it is a small, readable port that stays close to the original
1997 code (unlike chocolate-doom/dsda-doom, which are based on later
source trees), and it is the only DOOM engine using raylib, which is
already packaged in Debian (libraylib-dev 6.0). It Provides doom-engine
and Recommends freedoom | doom-wad, like the other engines.

I am the upstream author and intend to maintain it within the Debian
Games Team (salsa.debian.org/games-team/raylibdoom). I need a sponsor.
The packaging is ready:

Thank you very much, have a nice day.

Best regards,
