Working Raycasting example! WolfenLöve 3D if you will...

Have you tried using LuaJIT and seeing what sort of speed increase you get?

[Jasoco]

Nope because I don't know what that is or how to use it.

Try running the game with this instead of regular LÖVE: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4214717/LoveJIT-OSX.zip or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4214717/LoveJIT-WIN32.zip

I'm pretty sure Jasoco uses Linux

His screenshots are from OSX.

The video should have given it away if not the screenshots.

Doesn't work. Is LuaJIT based on 0.8.0? Because this game takes extreme advantage of new features not in 0.7.x. It tells me I can't do "newCanvas". I need a newer version. Does one exist?

Also, Doors are kicking my ass right now. I'm even looking at Wolfenstein 3D's code. Floors were easier than this!

Whoops, you're right. I was thinking of another thread where he went a lil' overboard about someone not having a non-Windows binary, and I usually equal that level of Microsoft rage with Linux users (No offense, Jasoco.)

How dare you not have a .love file! The outrage! The anger! It's unacceptable.

Oh sorry, I thought you were still using 0.7.2. I'll post a 0.8.0 LuaJIT build once I reboot back into OSX later.

Thanks! As long as it's up to date. I know they changed other things between older versions of 0.8.0.

After spending way too much time going about door casting the wrong way I decided to try a different approach. As you can see, I almost have it. The rectangle represents where the door would be. The two points A and B are the ends of the door. I would need to figure out how to cast rays along that line excluding any rays that would be inside the wall as seen in the bottom shot. The door drawing would probably be post-processed after the rays for the walls have been added to the pool. It would create the rays along that line and add them to the pool with everything else, sort it and everything would draw correctly. In the first shot below, it would be about 55 rays. But they'd be easier like the floor since the distance is already known and it doesn't have to find any walls.

I just need to figure out how to cast the rays from point A to point B. It's probably so easy, but it's 3AM so I'll tackle it tomorrow. I WILL get doors implemented tomorrow. If it kills me!
