So for the past 3 days, I've started working on an raycasting engine/renderer. I have been posting updates in the #programming channel in the Discord server but it'd probably be better to document this more properly on the forum.

I've decided to name it "Love Me A Raycaster" because it:

• is written in Lua + Löve2D
  
• is a raycaster (duh)
  

(Though I have no idea what to name the actual game yet)

Currently implemented:

• Player movement (acceleration, collision, etc)
  
• Fisheye effect correction
  
• Wall textures
  
• Floor & ceiling textures
  
• A scrolling skybox
  
• Rudimentary radius-based lighting system
  

My goal is to eventually make an FPS game, but I'm getting there

320x240 pixel resolution, average/low settings (yes it says 18FPS but it does consistently hit 60FPS)


1366x768 pixel resolution (and max resolution for basically everything else) very bad FPS (potato laptop and some unoptimized code)


(yes, it can hit 60 fps in fullscreen mode (with the default configuration the first screenshot uses) but i wanted to show how it looked on max everything)

Next calc game of the year : Doom CE

Sorry, not a calc game this time

Oh, what hardware then?

I have added mouse controls to the camera, and the player is moved by WASD

Very cool, the speed is good too.

After much pain (figuratively), sprites now exist! They can properly obscure each-other, they can obscure walls, and walls can obscure them.

This thread won't be updated for a while as I'm rewriting this entirely in C, and also because of schoolwork. Sorry!

I keep on forgetting to post this but I remembered this time

Very pretty, good luck.
