Block Shooter
Check out the game by watching the trailer HERE
Welcome to Block Shooter, a classic, old-school first-person shooter game developed using raycasting technology. This repository showcases a basic FPS without textures, delivering a retro feel reminiscent of early FPS games. Below, you will find details on the core features, algorithms used, and the updates implemented in this project.
Features
-
Raycasting Engine: Utilizes raycasting technology to simulate a 3D world in a 2D environment. This technique renders the game environment efficiently without needing complex 3D models.
- Linear Algebra Concepts: The game engine makes extensive use of fundamental linear algebra, including:
- Dot Product is used to calculate angles between vectors.
- Cross Products to maintain orientation and directions.
- Vector Projection for accurate ray positioning and movement mechanics.
-
DDA Algorithm: This advanced algorithm (Digital Differential Analysis) ensures efficient and precise raycasting, making the game run smoothly and accurately track ray collisions with walls.
- Fisheye Correction: To eliminate visual distortions typically caused by raycasting, Fisheye correction is implemented to ensure the screen renders the game world accurately, providing a better visual experience.
