My first RayCaster
This project is a very small 3D maze. Its purpose is to make you work with ray-casting, 3D textures and some other very basic gameplay elements.
This project is inspired by the world-famous Wolfenstein 3D game, which
was the first FPS ever. It will enable you to explore ray-casting. Your goal will be to
make a dynamic view inside a maze, in which you’ll have to find your way.
You are going to use the school graphical library: the MiniLibX!
This library was developed internally and includes basic necessary tools to open
a window, create images and deal with keyboard and mouse events.
For more detailed information, look at the subject of this project.
The function is written in C language and thus needs the gcc compiler and some standard C libraries to run.
1. Compiling
To compile, go to the project path and run:
$ makeTo play the 3D maze just need to launch it with the following shell command:
$ ./cub3D <map_name>.cubI added some maps if you want to test the game, there are located in:
$ maps/validControls
You can use WASD to move FORWARD, LEFT, BACKWARD or RIGHT respectively. Also you can use the mouse or <- and -> keys to move player camera LEFT and RIGHT respectively. To quit the game press ESC or click on the red cross of window.
