- My First RayCaster with miniLibX
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.
Developed by Id Software by the über famous John Carmack and John Romero, published in 1992 by Apogee Software, Wolfenstein 3D is the first true “First Person Shooter” in the history of video games.
Wolfenstein 3D is the ancestor of games like Doom (Id Software, 1993), Doom II (Id Software, 1994), Duke Nukem 3D (3D Realm, 1996) and Quake (Id Software, 1996), that are additional eternal milestones in the world of video games.
cub3D is a first-person perspective maze exploration game inspired by the iconic Wolfenstein 3D. This project allows you to dive into the world of raycasting and create a dynamic 3D view inside a maze. The game is developed in C and utilizes the miniLibX graphics library.

Compile the project:
make && make bonus- Run the game with a scene description file (e.g,
maps/map.cub):
./cub3D_bonus maps/map.cubCreate a scene description file (e.g., example.cub) with the following elements:
Textures for North, South, East, and West walls. Floor and ceiling colors. Map layout (0 for empty space, 1 for a wall, N/S/E/W for player start position). Example:
NO ./path_to_the_north_texture
