cub3D - Advanced Raycasting

cub3D is a 3D game engine inspired by the classic game Wolfenstein 3D. It is designed to render a maze-like environment and simulate a first-person perspective, providing an immersive gaming experience.

Features

• Real-time 3D rendering of a maze environment.
• First-person perspective movement and controls.
• Collision detection to prevent walking through walls.
• Customizable map system for creating unique mazes.
• Support for texture mapping to enhance visual appeal.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A C compiler (e.g., GCC or Clang)
• Make build automation tool
• MLX42 library for graphics and window management
• GLAD library for OpenGL loading
• lodepng library for loading PNG images

Installation

1. Clone the repository with submodules: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/DeRuina/cub3D.git

2. Navigate to the project directory: cd cub3D

3. Build the project using Make: make
