Ray Caster

A simple, but fun ray casting engine written in C++ and SFML 2.6. It uses similar display technique to Wolfenstein 3D (1992) - for each horizontal pixel it casts a ray and the shorter the ray, the longer the texture drawn on the screen.

Controls are simple - WASD to move, RIGHT and LEFT arrow to rotate.

Build it yourself:

1. Install dependencies:

   • Arch Linux:

     sudo pacman -S cmake sfml nlohmann-json

   • Debian / Ubuntu:

     sudo apt-get install cmake libsfml-dev nlohmann-json3-dev

2. Build project and run:

bash -c "git clone https://github.com/matihope/RayCaster.git && \
    cd RayCaster && \
    cmake -B build && \
    cd build && \
    make -j 3 && \
    cd .. && \
    ./RayCaster"
