I've got some *ixy systems lying around also, so maybe I'll take
a look at that.  (OS X, maybe?)

I did do a first cut at a few walls and floors by hand; see:

for a screenshot (I really need to do one with an adorable little
toddler about to step onto a teleportal or something...).  A bit
of a resolution mismatch, obviously...

Oh, yeah!  "Pamplona: the Running of the Bulls"; haven't thought
of that in years.  (See "http://members.aol.com/dmchess/nickdoom.html",
near the bottom.)  It was a collaboration between me and SLIGE and
(for the custom background music) a music-generation program that
I wrote (SLIGE actually has a stub to compose custom music for the
WADs it generates, but I never put in any actual music-writing code,
because it would have made the program considerably larger, and the
music would still have sucked most of the time).  I'd forgotten that
WAD was version-neutral also; I think I just realized somewhere in
there that it should be possible in theory, and so I tried it...
