Challenge
Understand the fundamentals of real-time 3D rendering by implementing a raycasting engine, in the style of early FPS games, from a 2D map and the MiniLibX graphics library.

Cub3D: pseudo-3D rendering engine using raycasting
École 42 project, a pseudo-3D rendering engine in C in the style of Wolfenstein 3D: raycasting from a 2D map, wall textures, first-person movement, using the MiniLibX library.
Impact
- Functional pseudo-3D rendering engine using raycasting
- Wall textures and first-person view
- Parsing and validation of the scene file
What was done
A raycasting engine: projection of the 2D map into a first-person view, computation of ray/wall intersections, application of textures based on orientation, player movement and rotation, and parsing of the scene file.
