Introduction

This project, inspired by the iconic Wolfenstein 3D game, is a first-person perspective maze exploration using Ray-Casting principles. Developed in C with miniLibX, cub3D challenges you to create a realistic 3D graphical representation inside a maze.

Goals

• Enhance skills in C programming, basic algorithms, and information research.
• Develop graphic design skills, including window management, color handling, and event handling.
• Explore practical applications of mathematics in creating efficient algorithms.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository.
2. Compile the project using the provided Makefile.
3. Run the executable with a map file in the format *.cub as the first argument.

Usage

• Use arrow keys to look left and right.
• Use W, A, S, and D keys to move through the maze.
• Press ESC or close the window to quit the program.

Mandatory Part

• Create a 3D graphical representation using Ray-Casting.
• Smooth window management.
• Display different wall textures based on the wall's facing side.
• Set floor and ceiling colors.
• Parse scene description from a .cub file.
• Handle errors gracefully.

Bonus Part

Bonuses are evaluated only if the mandatory part is perfect.

• Wall collisions.
• Minimap system.
• Doors that can open and close.
• Animated sprite.
• Rotate the point of view with the mouse.

Examples

• Original Wolfenstein3D game using RayCasting.
• Example of the project with mandatory features.
• Bonus examples with a minimap, floor/ceiling textures, animated sprites, etc.
