Does cycle here mean the same thing as what Carmack used in Wolf3D to randomly fill the screen with red pixels without any of them repeating? | ||

Yes, it is essentially the same mathematical concept — both are cycle decompositions of permutations. Carmack used a permutation to ensure every pixel is visited exactly once. | ||
