The Maze Game is a project that revisits the prior style of game development. I opted for this project to get a feel for how computer graphics programming is like, so that if I was ever to do a related project, I would sort of know what to expect. More on the project below
Expectation...🔥
Reality...🤦♂️
Feels like the 90's
This project is a trial at game programming, the old-school way. It makes use of a method known as raycasting to be able to draw the 2D objects as 3D projections of themselves, such as lines as vertical walls.
More On The Project Features:
- The project is written in the C programming language.
- To do the windowing, the SDL library is utilized.
- Input handling is also done by the SDL library.
- In order to cast 2D objects into 3D, an algorithm based on "Digital Differential Analysis" (DDA) is used.
- This algorithm turns lines into walls and gives other sprites their vertical aspect.
- Using this technique is also quite handy as it is not compute-intensive, to match the limited nature of the devices of the time it was developed during. Modern techniques like ray-tracing would be a whole different story!
- Hope you enjoy...when it is done😅!
