Key Features
Raycasting & Rendering
Accurate 3D rendering achieved through raycasting, allowing the player to experience realistic depth and perspective within the maze.
Orientation & Rotation
Real-time camera controls ensure smooth player navigation with full rotational capabilities for an immersive experience.
Wall Rendering & Collision Detection
Enhanced wall rendering with distinct colors based on orientation and collision detection to prevent players from moving through walls.
About the Project
"The Maze" is a portfolio project that I developed to demonstrate my skills in raycasting, game mechanics, and real-time rendering. The inspiration came from my interest in creating an immersive 3D environment that could be navigated in real-time.
Goals Achieved:
Raycasting and Rendering: Successfully implemented, allowing accurate 3D environment rendering.
Orientation and Rotation: Real-time camera controls are functioning smoothly, enhancing player navigation.
Wall Rendering: Improved wall rendering differentiates between NORTH/SOUTH and EAST/WEST walls.
Collision Detection: Accurate collision detection prevents the player from passing through walls.
Map Parsing: The map parser loads maze layouts from external files for easy modifications.
2D Minimap: A toggleable 2D minimap assists with navigation.
Remaining Challenges:
Enemy Integration: Developing enemy behaviors and interactions with the player remains a challenge.
Adaptations and Next Steps:
Focus on Enemy Integration: Defining enemy behavior and AI.
Ongoing Enhancements: Refine features like texture integration and gameplay balance.
Documentation and Maintenance: Keep updating the project documentation and ensure code quality.
Progress Rating: 7/10
Based on completed milestones and implemented features, I rate my progress at 7 out of 10.
