	Even if though, the only similarity between Jedi and DOOM's engine is
structuring by sectors (which all the 1pp games have) and similar (but
improved) lighting model. Even texture mapping has different algorithm - look
at distortions of graphics in DOOM and DF - they're different. So even if
Jedi engine was based on DOOM's (which I find hard to believe due to my
knowledge of both DOOM and DF) its was rewritten completely.

	So you didn't play DF? Ha!
