Final project for my CS410p: Full Stack Web Development course.
In this project, I set out to implement a raycast system. In brief, Raycasting takes a top down, 2D world, and renders it as though it were 3D. It was the algorithm used to implement Wolfenstein 3D's graphics.
The features this has includes: * Renders textured walls, floors, and ceiling * Renders sprites ("things" in the world) * Renders skys for outdoorsy areas. * Can walk around the world.
For the path of absolute least resistance, go to the following website: https://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~wynnliam
The final (for now) version of this can be found in two places:
- In the folder ./public/index.html. Open this with either Firefox or Internet Explorer. Chrome seems to be a mixed bag at the moment, and I've no idea with Edge.
- Use the command "make all" to make the most recent version, and then see the above item. See Compiling for more.
There are two ways to compile: use "make all", or "make all_out". The former builds the raycaster for the browser, the latter as an executable.
To run make all, you need the emscripten compiler installed, as well as the SDL 2 library. Open up the make file and make sure the location for CMP is set appropriately. Next, make sure the lines 3 and 68 in main.c are UNCOMMENTED. Then, make sure the while loop from line 60 to 65 is COMMENTED. After that, you should be able to run make all. Then, open the html file ./public/index.html.
To run make all_out, you need just SDL 2. However, you will need to change some lines in main.c. You need to make sure the while loop on lines 60 to 65 is UNCOMMENTED and the lines on 3 and 68 are COMMENTED out. Then, you should be able to run make all_out. An executable a.out should now exist. Open that up and enjoy the raycaster.
