Maze Project

Overview

Welcome to the Maze project, an exciting 3D game development journey using raycasting. The project unfolds progressively through different tasks, each adding unique features to create an immersive gaming experience.

About SDL2

Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software, emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog and many Humble Bundle games.

Installation

gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic ./src/*.c -lm -o maze `sdl2-config --cflags` `sdl2-config --libs`

Flowchart

General

Tasks

0. Walls!

Overview

Create a window with SDL2 and implement raycasting to draw walls.

Steps

1. Set up SDL2.
2. Implement raycasting for wall rendering.
3. Provide a way to change the camera angle.

Example

1. Orientation

Overview

Differentiate wall colors based on their orientation (NORTH/SOUTH vs. EAST/WEST).

Steps

1. Enhance wall rendering to differentiate orientations.

Example

2. Rotation

You must provide a way to rotate the camera during the execution.

1.For example, you can rotate the camera when the left,right arrows are pressed on the keyboard. 2.Or you can rotate the camera when the mouse moves, just like a FPS game !

Example

3. Move

You must provide a way to move the camera during the execution.

1. For example, you can move the camera when the w,a,s,d keys are pressed on the keyboard.

Example:

8. Textures

1. In this part you have to add textures on your walls !

Example

10. Ground textures

In this part you have to add textures on the ground and/or on the ceiling !

Example

11. Weapons

Add weapons textures !
