   Surely you mean “spanning” three decades, not “after” three decades.

      No, ‘after’ three decades is correct, spanning doesn’t make any sense in this context

   Hate to nipick but one pixel line is 2D, not 1D. the clue is in the name. ‘1 Pixel” which would be the height, which would be a dimension. The ‘Line’ would be the width. That’s your second dimension right there.

      Well, points on the plane could be represented as (x,y). However, as the line is only 1 pixel in width, every point can be represented as (1,y) i.e. by the y-coordinate only. I’d say that fits the article’s working definition of 1D.

      Well, I don’t mind nit picking so much, so….

      This game is 1D just as much as Wolfenstine was 3D.

      Technically there was no jumping, steps or stairs in W3D, thus making it a game with 3D perspective projected onto a 2D display device, with only two translational and one rotational degrees of freedom, most commonly controlled with a 2D x-y pointing device (or mouse).
