What people say. Recommended as a great high-level overview of building a retro Doom-style game engine.

On “Anybody aware of a series / resource that recreates DOOM (or something similar)”

I think Fabien Sanglard's books are probably the best resource out there. But if you want to see some of the process of a game being made, there's a guy on YouTube under the name jdh who has been making a DOOM/Wolfenstein-like game and periodically uploading videos on it. The videos are pretty good, but they're more of a high-level overview. Here's the first video in the series. He has two more recent ones and a livestream. He also shared his software renderer written in C, but I haven't taken a look at that yet.

On “How to render these sectors (2.5D engine)”

I think JDH on YouTube has portals add to a list of sectors to be drawn but I'm not completely certain of the specifics. Check out this video: link to this video As well as the first part of the follow up about portals
