cub3d

Using miniLibX and ray-casting principles we created a “realistic” 3D graphical representation of a maze from a first-person perspective, modelled on the style of Wolfenstein 3D.

Instructions

The program displays the image in a window and respects the following rules:

1. The left and right arrow keys of the keyboard allow the player to look left and right in the maze.
2. The W, A, S, and D keys allow the player to move the point of view through the maze.
3. Pressing ESC will close the window and quit the program cleanly.
4. Clicking on the red cross on the window’s frame will close the window and quit the program cleanly.

Build

make

Run

./cub3d ./maps/map_tech.ber

Resources

Raycasting is a rendering technique used to create a 3D perspective in a 2D map.

It works by projecting rays from the player’s position at regular angular intervals across their field of view. Each ray travels until it hits a wall, and the distance determines the apparent height of the wall on the screen.

AI was used to handle the mathematics involved in ray casting and the DDA algorithm.
