Would A Classic Doom Inspired Game Work In LOVE2D?

[Jasoco]

Here's a example of raycasting engine done in LOVE, complete with floors, transparent blocks too.

Awesome job! You fixed a few of the problems I was having. But you seemingly forgot doors. (Which I had but were slightly buggy) Also, the floor and ceiling rendering should be replaced with a shader as the current method just doesn't look right at low resolutions.

What were the problems that you had? And yeah... I kinda didn't do the doors. Yet! Probably soon..... And I will probably replace the floor with a shader, like that of xXMonkeyManXx.

I could never get see-through walls to work. (I tried to figure out how the raycasting routine worked so I could make it continue casting when it hit a see-through wall and just add that wall as a reference but it never worked right.)

But I did do see-through doors since they were rendered independently of the walls.

have not tried it yet, but this could be useful

I'm trying to get doors to work using this shader: (You are very much familiar with it)

--[[Complete API----  This was made to be a module, PLEASE USE IT AS A MODULE

   .cw=false
   -Counter clockwise vertex order starting at top left.

   .cw=true
   -Clockwise vertex order starting at top left.


   .preload(loadup):

   -loadup==true sets pixel effect to polygon texturer,
   -loadup==false clears any pixel effect.
   *NOTE: preload(false) must be done to draw blank polygons after textured ones.


   .setRepeat(origin,size):
   -Makes the image repeat every 'size' starting at 'origin'.
   -The default is origin={0,0},size={1,1}.


   .quad(image,v1,v2,v3,v4) - Draws a polygon.

   -if 'image' is nil, the function will prepare to make it blank.


   .quad(v1,v2,v3,v4) - draws a polygon with no image.


   .fast(image,v1,v2,v3,v4) - draws a polygon with 'image' on it.
   -slightly(!!!) faster than quad.
   -Must include an image.
   -Must call .preload(true) beforehand.


   Info:
   Vertices are in the form {x,y}.
   Vertices go clockwise from the top left.

But for some reason, instead of drawing an image, the shader just draws a coloured polygon.
The doors are supposed to be those skin-coloured polygons.

EDIT:

I even got the doors to have the right "angle"

[Jasoco]

The way I did doors was using a special raycasting function to cast each segment of the door (Each of which would each be a separate single line) and then those door segments would be added to my draw pool and sorted along with each of the wall segments and sprite objects. (By using a single line for each door I could manipulate it any way I wanted to. Eventually having swinging double doors instead of just sliding ones if I wanted to.)

It worked almost perfectly but as I complained about in my original thread, it would show gaps when trying to view from certain angles.

EDIT:
Everything! And I mean everything works now! See for yourself:

Bump into the doors to open them.

So is the constant spinning to the left intentional or is it just what happens on my computer?

It doesn't spin for me, but the floor does glitch occasionally when i turn.

Do you have a controller plugged in?
