Ok, some of this dates back from april;
I've since been bitten hard by this in some python project.

Some of those dispredencies might come from the wolf3d script
I used as example.

This comes from the wolf3d example.
I guess there is a reason for wolf3d, because there are various versions avaible.
(BTW the one I have for 20 years trigger this warning)

Yes, this would make sense here.

This is the full game, it is just non-distribuable.
