It's a simple software rasterizer. If you're interested in writing your own, I've written a tutorial explaining the basics. https://magcius.github.io/xplain/article/rast1.html

Also look at the source for original Quake (https://github.com/id-Software/Quake), one of the last pure software-rasterizing AAA 3D PC games. Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book (https://github.com/jagregory/abrash-black-book) explains many of the critical parts of the rendering pipeline.

By the way, quake.exe for DOS was 404,480 bytes.

Actually, there is already rast2 article: https://magcius.github.io/xplain/article/rast2.html. Also there is the menu article: https://magcius.github.io/xplain/article/menu.html.

FYI, these are unfinished, and I have no plans to work on this series again.

Unfortunately, repository https://github.com/magcius/xplain is archived and the latest update is from 5 years ago.
