Want to try to get into Doom 1/2 mapmaking but have no idea where to start. Thought that if there was a place to ask it'

[ErrolParks]

I've played a lot of doom. I've seen and played a bunch of really creative and cool WADs out there, and lately I've grown inspired to create a few maps of my own. Nothing too hardcore: no texture editing, no new models (other than making level geometry of course), just plunking existing assets into different spots.Geometry Dash Lite

I mostly want to find out if there's a way I can build a map without it being a complete nightmare to make. Specifically, if anyone knows of a tool somewhat like the doom 2016 snapmap maker or the CS:GO map making software, where it's plunking down existing assets/building geometry through dragging, that's the ballpark of thing I'm hoping exists, since I have literally no experience with actual line-by-line coding and I don't have the time to learn an entire programming language just for this. I have windows 10 and play WADs through GZdoom, if that affects anything.

Also would appreciate just some general tips of how to build simple maps, just some what to do's and what not to do's. Thanks a ton.
