SDL2 Raycasting Engine

This was originally a port of my HTML5 canvas version here. If you just want to learn basic floor/ceiling texture mapping in a raycaster, I recommend studying the HTML5 version. The code is easier to read and can be run in your browser.

This C++ project has a few more features compared to the HTML5 version: vertical movement, wall top/bottom texture mapping, sprites and projectiles. There is also experimental support for thin angled walls and slopes.

You can see videos of it in action here.

Building

I highly recommending compiling with some kind of optimization enabled. For Dev-C++ I use the -O2 flag. The -O3 flag also works if -fno-tree-vectorize is specified as well.

You will need SDL2 and SDL2_mixer.

SDL2 version used is SDL2-devel-2.0.12-mingw.tar.gz
https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

SDL2_mixer version used is SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.4-mingw.tar.gz
https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/

So far I've only tested this with Dev-C++ 5.11
