WadC is a programming language (formally, a normal-order evaluated functional language1) for the construction of Doom maps. Think of it like Logo on steroids, with demons and shotguns.
The current version of WadC is 3.1. (Here's a zip). You can get the WadC source code from github.
Getting started

WadC session running pipeloop.wl
WadC requires Java and several Doom prerequisites to use. See setup to get WadC's and its pre-requisites set up.
Check out the gallery of examples to see the kind of things you can do. The gallery includes in-game pictures, top-down map renderings and links to ready-to-play WADs.
Try hacking an existing example or writing your own: see the introductory tutorial and the language reference.
If you want some ideas for things to do, take a look at the WadC HACKING guide.

3.1 introduces tuneable parameters ("knobs") and an experimental built-in
archclip, which produces abbreviated arches.
Check the release notes for the full details.
Version 3.1 of WadC is dedicated to Kayvan Walker (1983-2022). RIP. Thank you Kayvan for introducing me to Doom, amongst a great many more important things.
