I would really love to see a working Raycasting example that worked in Löve. I've tried converting numerous JavaScript versions with no luck at all. It's always just out of reach. Surely it can't be hard.

There was an example in the "What are you working on" thread a while ago but it was a bit buggy. I just tried the code now and it just looks and works wrong. I'm not talking about the fisheye, rather some other glitches. This is the code that was posted there:

Surely if it could be done so perfectly in 1992, it can be done right now. I'm not even concerned about image textures yet. I just want the shapes. The textures would come later based on where along the wall tile a ray is touching and dividing the texture into a quad per horizontal pixel unit. Blah blah blah.

Hello everybody,
I wrote a very simple (only 144 lines!) raycasting example (I used this toturial: http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/raycast/, it is really good). I just changed one thing - when finding walls, I used very simple and VERY slow algorithm. So if you want to use it, you have to rewrite it to the algorithm in tutorial.
Obviously, it should run in smaller window (320 x 200), it uses bigger window for map and some info.

Here it is:

(i can't upload attachment, I click button and nothing happens).

I did a quick test some time ago. Did the math myself so it's not very optimized.

Hey, that's awesome! And it runs well even on my netbook.

Hi,

This is my first post!!!!

I took this: http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/crea ... l-5-can-1/

and implemented a texture-less Love2d version...

Hope this helps.

So when will we see the first FPS made in LÖVE?

[MarekkPie]

I really like jfroco's version. Much cleaner walls.

I am impressed. That's the exact same code I was trying to port myself all yesterday with no avail. I am going to have to compare your port to the original and my half-assed failure and see if I can learn more.

I want to try and get a real working Wolf-style game engine going. I even downloaded that Prelude of the Chambered (Notch's Ludum Dare game from the previous LD) and couldn't make heads nor tails of the code to figure out which stuff was the actual math calculations or if it was even raycasting or simply warping 2D images in 3D space like MineCraft does.

Thanks for this. It'll be a good testing ground to start with. You even accounted for the fisheye. Now if you could get texturing in, it would be even better. Then I'd have to figure out how to do sprites with clipping and z-indexing.

Everyone's examples are great. But jfroco somehow reached into my brain and figured out what I was trying to do all day yesterday. Don't know how.

I'd really like to up the resolution on how many lines of ray are drawn across the screen up to 320 so I can have a true 320x200 game.

It's probably because your name are alike.. are you the same person?

Not unless jfroco's the me from the future come back in time to secretly help me become the master of the universe.
