{This is my procedure for drawing DOOM-like floors for the game I am working
on. It uses the similar triangle method, but does not work as fast as I
would like. The problem is probably that I am using Turbo Pascal.  I tried to 
optimize using assembler, but have never used it before.   If anyone could 
help me speed it up, I would really appreciate it. I think this procedure runs 
at about 11-12 fps without my wall,objects procedures, at about 8 fps with 
them.  The wall,objects procedures run at about 20 fps without the floor 
procedure.  My goal is for a nice 15 fps with everything.  All speeds are on a 
486 DX2/66.



Sorry for the sloppy code. I'll try to explain.}
