Edit; I see there is a version of it already. I wonder if it's using planar (?)

The 2D part of the display uses planar graphics, but on PC the 3D view is drawn using EGA write mode 2, which does "on the fly" chunky to planar conversion as you write the memory. I wish the Amiga chipset had something like this. For the Amiga port I drawn the 3D view into a separate chunky buffer, and did a C2P conversion from there.
