About

This is a 3D game rendered from a 2D map using a technique known as raycasting. Team members were Kibirt Bayou C and I. The project mainly focused on raycasting, which is projecting a 2D map to a navigatable 3D map. Later on adding features that you would find in a game, like rotating the camera and moving the player.

Think of ray casting like this, we can use a rectangle shape to represent a room in 2D, now imagine yourself in that room, you see an upright wall, so the task is drawing those upright walls and from just the rectangle, and that simply is raycasting.

We both worked on writing the code since that was an integral part of the project. This project was an attempt to obtain some knowledge and experience on the multimedia title development process using SDL - Simple DirectMedia Layer library.

Simple DirectMedia Layer(SDL) is a cross-platform software development library designed to provide a hardware abstraction layer for computer multimedia hardware components, to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D.
