About

Cub3D is a project that challenges you to create a simple 3D game engine from scratch using the C programming language and the MiniLibX (graphical library).

The main objective is to create a maze-like 3D environment where the player can navigate. The project involves implementing a raycasting algorithm to determine the distance and direction of objects in the game world, allowing the creation of the 3D illusion.

Features

• A player can move within the 3D maze using the arrow keys.
• Walls and other obstacles are textured to give a 3D appearance.
• The player can rotate the camera to look around.
• The game displays a HUD (Heads-Up Display) showing relevant information such as the player's position, direction, and frame rate.
• The game includes a sprite feature, allowing you to render objects with different depths in the 3D environment.

Instructions

1. Compiling & Executing the program

To compile and execute the program, run:

$ make
$ ./cub3D map.cub

Replace map.cub with the path to your custom map file. The map file defines the layout of the 3D environment, including the textures, sprite positions, and player starting position.

2. Special Compiling Rules

To compile the program with fsanitize, run:

$ make debug
$ ./minishell

To compile the program with valgrind, run:

$ make leaks

Controls

• ↓ : Move backward.
• ← : Move left.
• → : Move right.
