The cub3D is an engaging game engine that uses ray-casting techniques similar to the classic game Wolfenstein 3D.
The objective of cub3D is to build a 3D maze environment using ray-casting techniques. The program renders the environment in a window, allowing players to explore and interact with the maze. Developed as part of the 42 school curriculum, cub3D offers developers an opportunity to explore graphics programming and game development concepts.
- Utilizes ray-casting techniques to create a 3D maze environment.
- Renders different wall textures based on the orientation (North, South, East, West).
- Allows customization of floor and ceiling colors.
- Supports player movement and view rotation using keyboard controls.
- Provides a smooth window management experience.
- Error handling
- Window management must remain smooth, including window switching and minimizing.
- Map composition is limited to six possible characters: 0 (empty space), 1 (wall), and N/S/E/W (player's start position and orientation).
- Map must be surrounded by walls, and other elements of the map must be separated by one or more empty lines.
- Each type of element in the scene description file can be set in any order and must follow a specific format.
Below is a valid format of the map file:
NO ./textures/wolf/wood.png
SO ./textures/wolf/redbrick.png
WE ./textures/wolf/pillar.png
EA ./textures/wolf/eagle.png
F 210,50,100
C 20,250,100

To run the project, first clone the repository and navigate into the project directory. Then, use the make command to compile the project.
Once the project is compiled, you can run it with the following command:
./cub3D path_to_map_file.cubThen, you can explore the 3D world using the specified controls:
- WASD keys: move forward, backward, left, and right.
- Arrow keys: Rotate the player's view left and right.
- ESC key: Exit the game.
