This project is a wolfenstein-like game coded in C using raycasting. No game engine was used.
Raycasting is a technique used in computer graphics to create a 3D-like perspective in a 2D game world. Imagine you are standing in a maze and you shine a flashlight straight ahead. The light beam is like a "ray" that travels until it hits a wall.
In raycasting, the game sends out many rays from the player's position, one for each column of pixels on the screen. Each ray moves forward until it hits an obstacle, like a wall. The distance each ray travels determines how tall the wall appears on the screen, creating the illusion of depth. Closer walls look taller, and farther walls look shorter.
Raycasting is efficient because it only calculates the visible walls and ignores everything else, making it a popular choice for early 3D games like "Wolfenstein 3D."
