This project is inspired by the world-famous Wolfenstein 3D game, which was the first FPS ever. It was enable me to explore ray-casting. The goal is to make a dynamic view inside a maze, in which player will have to find your way.
-
Display different wall textures (your choice) that change depending on which side the wall is facing (north, south, east, west).
-
Program also possible to set two different colours for the floor and ceiling.
-
The left and right arrow keys of the keyboard allow you to look left and right in the maze.
-
The
W,A,S,Dkeys allow you to move the point of view through the maze. -
Pressing ESC or clicking on the red cross on the window’s frame will close the window and quit the program cleanly.
Program take as a first argument a scene description file with the .cub extension.
-
The map must be composed of only 6 possible characters:
0for an empty space.1for a wall.N,S,E,Wfor the player’s start position and spawning orientation.
-
The map must be closed/surrounded by walls, if not the program will return an error
-
Except for the map content, each type of element can be separated by one or more empty line or spaces(s).
-
Except for the map content which always has to be the last, each type ofelement can be set in any order in the file.
-
Each element (except the map) firsts information is the type identifier (com-posed by one or two character(s)), followed by all specific informations for eachobject in a strict order such as:
NO ./path_to_the_north_texture- identifier: NO
- path to the north texure
