Wolf

Wolf is a raycasting engine for 2.5D games, like Wolfenstein 3D and others from the 1990s!

The engine uses OpenGL for rendering with GPUs but operates on 2D maps under the hood. The player is is thus not able to move up or down and walls always have 90-degree angles between them.

The design of the engine is similar to the iPhone port of Wolfenstein 3D.

Features

  • 2D maps
  • Raycasting for visibility determination
  • OpenGL rendering pipeline
  • Texture mapping
  • Collision detection

Usage

First install prerequisites:

$ sudo yum install SDL2-devel SDL2_image-devel

To build Wolf:

$ make

Then, to start up the demo:

$ ./wolf
