Watching the trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia097A0pKNM&t , it looks very "sonic." Then, when I look at the walls, I don't know why, it just "feels" Doom to me. Very cool!

One of the things I find AI is best for is coding operations that don't need to understand context. IE, if I need a method (or small set of methods) that have clearly defined inputs and outputs , probably because they follow a well-kn
