42_cub3D

This project is inspired by the world-famous Wolfenstein 3D game, the first FPS ever. It is the best opportunity to explore ray-casting. The goal is to make a dynamic view inside a maze where you’ll have to find your way.

Team project with Orezek at 42Prague.

Configuration file - map, textures, floor and ceiling colors

As you can see from intra_map.cub the config file must have these parameters:

• config file has to have .cub postfix
• 4 textures for north (NO), south (SO), west (WE) and east (EA) must be present in the file with the path to the texture
• 2 colours for the floor (F prefix) and ceiling (C prefix) have to be present in the file followed by 3 integers with values between 0-255 to represent R, G, B
• Map must be last in the config file
• Spaces are valid a part of the map
• Map must be closed (surrounded by walls)
• The player's starting position is represented by one of these characters N, S, E, or W in the map and the letter represents the side the player is looking at

What we learned during coding cub3D

• Ray-casting
• Who John Carmack is - listen to 5 hours long Lex Frieman podcast with him here, it is just fascinating!
