warlock

Warlock is a raycasting engine built in C with raylib. Currently, it is most comparable to the Wolf3D renderer except with textured floors and ceilings.

NOTE: Contrary to popular belief, DOOM used an object-first renderer not a raycasting engine. This means that instead of casting rays to calculate wall heights like Wolf3D it iterated through a tree of walls and projected them to the screen using some clever trig functions. In other words, Warlock is currently failing in its goal to be a DOOM-like renderer. The object-first branch aims to (eventually) fix this.

Build & Run

Warlock requires raylib and nothing else.

I'm using macOS but Warlock should run anywhere that raylib does (and raylib runs virtually everywhere).

Build & run commands

cd warlock
cc *.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags raylib` -o game
./game

golem

Golem is a tool to build warlock levels. Like Warlock, Golem only needs raylib to build.

Build & run commands

cd golem
cc *.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags raylib` -o editor
./editor

World Files

World files are very rudimentary, they consist of one-letter commands followed by arguments.

NOTE: World files are gross. Someday, when golem is finished, they will be less gross.

• Load textures:
  • Allocate the correct number of texture slots: A [ct]
  • Load a texture: L [filepath]
• Set the current wall texture: T [texi] (where texi is a texture index, 0-indexed and same order they were loaded in)
• Define a new edge: E [x1] [y1] [x2] [y2]
• Set the floor texture: F [texi]
• Set the ceiling texture: C [texi]
• Any line starting with # is ignored

Each edge (wall) will be textured according to the last texture command (default: 0).
