A simple raycasting engine written in Perk, for MellOS.
It serves as a demo of the capabilities of both the language and the OS, along as a testing ground to find issues and limitations.
Currently supported materials:
- Solid colors
- Diffuse (Lambertian)
- Reflective (mirror)
- Refractive (glass)
Requires the Perk compiler, specifically on the devel branch, as Sperkaster uses some features that are still experimental.
Also requires the latest version of the MellOS kernel and build environment. The current version of MellOS already includes the latest version of Sperkaster, so there is no need to build it, unless you want to modify it.
After sorting out those requirements, you need to edit src/includes.h to point to your MellOS source tree, and edit Makefile accordingly.
Then, run make run.
It's a silly portmanteau of spellcaster + perk + raycaster
