Duke Nukem 3D

I noticed there's a branch with the legendary Duke Nukem 3D!

I read that it "works" but the branch is a bit old and never merged so I was wondering what the status/background is around it.

Were there any issues or objections to merging it? Which parts would need work? How was the framerate?

Thank you!!!

I don't remember specifically what the issues were. I remember that loading was horrendous and the framerate wasn't great (the original esp32 port it's based on had the same issues, just a bit less bad).

If you can get it to work reasonably well I have no objection to merging it.

Perhaps the SIMD accellerated instructions of the ESP32-S3 can be used to improve the framerate!
