Cube3D

42 group project done by @nicolasgasco and @isolinis. Small 3D video game inspired by Wolfenstein 3D that leverages raycasting to create a sense of tridimensionality. Written in C using 42's own graphical API miniLibX.

Project breakdown

The project roughly involved:

• Parsing and validating the scene description file passed as argument to the program, as shown in this example:

  // Textures according to orientation
  NO ./path_to_the_north_texture
  SO ./path_to_the_south_texture
  WE ./path_to_the_west_texture
  EA ./path_to_the_east_texture
  
  // Floor and ceiling colors
  F 220,100,0
  C 225,30,0
  
  // Map
  111111
  100001
  111111
  

• Transforming the data in a way that can be easily fed to the graphical API
• Doing the raycasting calculation to render the scene
• Adding player movement

Features

• Customizable textures (XPM) that vary according to orientation (North, South, West, East)
• Customizable ceiling and floor colors
• Player movement (vertical with W and S, horizontal with A and D)
• View rotation with left and right arrow keys in mandatory (src folder) and by moving the mouse horizontally in bonus (bonus folder).

Run the program (macOs only)

git clone https://github.com/nicolasgasco/42_cub3d.git
cd 42_cub3d

# For mandatory (player rotation with arrow keys)
make
./cub3D /maps/scene.cub

# For bonus (player rotation with mouse)
make bonus
./cub3D_bonus /maps/scene.cub
