Cub3d is a raycaster render engine that can be used to display square grid maps in 3d space. We (@antonweizmann) also implemented sprites. It is inspired by the first FPS: Wolfenstein 3D.

• 3D graphical representation using ray-casting.
• Smooth window management with MLX42.
• Different wall textures based on orientation (North, South, East, West).
• Customizable floor and ceiling colors.
• Keyboard controls for navigation:
  • Arrow keys to look around.
  • W, A, S, D keys to move.
  • ESC to close the window and quit.
• Mouse input to look around (not up and down due to limitations of the raycasting engine)
• Wall collision
• Sprites

• There is an example included in the repository. (./map1.cub)
• Must contain only these characters: 0 (empty space), 1 (wall), B (barrel), N, S, E, W (player start positions and orientation).
• Must be closed/surrounded by walls.
• Format:
  • Wall textures: NO, SO, WE, EA followed by the path to the texture file.
  • Sprite texture: P followed by path to sprite texture
  • Colors: F (floor), C (ceiling) followed by three RGB values (0-255).
  • Example:

    NO ./path_to_the_north_texture
    SO ./path_to_the_south_texture
    WE ./path_to_the_west_texture
    EA ./path_to_the_east_texture
    
    F 220,100,0
    C 225,30,0
