Ross C is onto something there. After all, programming is just a way to get the computer to accomplish something you want done. IMHO, there is no "cheat", just an algorithm to achieve your goal. The quasi-3D effect of Doom was an algorithm to get the look and feel of a three-dimensional world, spurred on by the limits of technology available when it first came out. You do what you can with what's available to achieve your goal. If a straightforward programming command can't do it, you work "outside the box" to find a way to do it. So, I would encourage you not to ditch it, but keep trying.
