Cub3D - A 3D Game Engine in C

Welcome to Cub3D! This project is a 3D game engine inspired by the classic Wolfenstein 3D. It is written in C using the MLX42 graphical library and serves as an introduction to basic raycasting techniques and 3D rendering.

Key Features

• Raycasting Engine: Implements a basic raycasting algorithm to render 3D projections from a 2D map.
• Textures: Supports textured walls for a more immersive experience.
• Map Parsing: Reads and parses a .cub file to load the game map, player start position, and other configurations.
• Player Movement: Implements smooth player movement, including walking and turning, in a 3D environment.
• Basic Collision Detection: Prevents the player from walking through walls and out-of-bound areas.
• Configurable Settings: Customizable game settings through the map file, including textures, and more.

Installation

To compile and run Cub3D, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dvan-kle/cub3d.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd cub3d

3. Compile the project using the provided Makefile:

   make

4. Run the game:

   ./cub3D map.cub

   Replace map.cub with the path to your map file.

Usage

Cub3D requires a valid .cub map file to run. The map file should define the layout of the game world, textures, and other settings. Here's an example of how to run the game:

./cub3D maps/level1.cub
