Can we get some terms clear here? "3D" means a Doom-like engine with a
PROPER Z-axis that allows floors on top of floors. DOF is Degrees Of Freedom,
which defines in how many directions you can move - Doom has 2, DF has
a debatable amount, 2-4, and Descent has 6. 2.5d is Doom engine-like, with
different heights, but no floors above floors. 2D would be Wolf3d - that
can't even set sector heights. OK?
