Thank you for all the interesting references. I had almost forgotten about the BSP-SNES port.

I think they main concern when doing sectors + portals for a wolf3d-type 3d engine is how much word is done when 'stepping into' portals. basically it requires changing the clipping range [x0, x] of the portal, and quickly finding the next visible wall segment. the clipping could actually be done in 'angle space', not even using vectors. That is, wall edges/"vertices" should be represented as [angle,distance]. I have also been thinking about how much of that math pipeline could be done using specialized 8-bit values and LUTs.

I have been thinking about trying to get something running on very slow hardware, although at some point the problem is more drawing on the screen quickly, not the renderer.
