Thanks, I tested it and the improvement is noticeable. Did you play my map?

I see that you used Lee Killough's algorithm, which is more sensible than reinventing the wheel. However, this area of code is labelled as a "compatibility minefield" in the source code of PRBoom (also used as the basis of the iOS port).

Did you consider the implications for demo playback? Apart from that this change should be an unmitigated improvement. I don't see any compatibility options. Did the demos ever work properly with your Doom? They never worked with the Eddie Edwards port of Doom as far as I know.

Cheers,

Christopher
