What stuff can I do with Boom format?

[DevilMyEyes]

So, in summer, i'm planning to do a small 9 level wad for Doom 1/Doom 2 (not sure yet) called Cruel Existence, it's going to be a love letter for sigil fans but to keep things interesting, it'll have new stuff and I want the level design be a little different than vanilla..

Boom lets you:

 

Don't care about limits

Make fake sliding doors via scrolling walls

Make fake waggling liquid via voodoo magic (e.g. waggling deep pool of blood)

Deep water and glass floors (242 action)

Slippery icy and sticky webbed/muddy places (223 action line with proper length + 768 sector special to enable wind and friction)

Note about sector specials: if you want to make the icy/windy sector e.g. to glow, just make the special be 768+8=776

Rooms over rooms via silent teleporters

Teleport unalerted monsters (this + common way to teleport enemies = smart enemy repopulation lol)

Scroll floors and walls depending on the control sector's movement

Make cascades of flashing lights like in Hellground by Eternal via voodoo magic

Make elevators

Make very fast moving doors and lifts

Make windy areas

Make jump pads

 

And many many more
