[Ndless] Problem with raycasting
« on: June 07, 2013, 01:26:47 pm »
Hallaw,

I've been working on ray casting since a little time and definitely can't make it work right. It's just crashing right now, and before crashing it did wrong maths.

I arranged the code like an engine (because that's want I'm wanting to do), so I can be sure that the problem is located in the nRC_rayCasting function.

Here is the full code (3 files) :

Spoiler For nRayC.c:
Code: [Select]
#include <os.h>

// Useful structures
typedef struct
{
int x;
int y;
} ScreenPoint;

// Functions

// Miscellaneous defines
#define abs(x) (x < 0 ? -x : x)
#define map(x, in_min, in_max, out_min, out_max) ((x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) / (in_max - in_min) + out_min)

#define nRC_248mul(a,b) ((a*b) >> 8)
#define nRC_248div(a,b) ((a << 8) / b)

// Trigonometry

#define nRC_Sin(angle) nRC_Cos(angle + 64)

int nRC_Cos(int angle)
{
// Beware ! All trigonometry is done in base 256 !
int table[256]={128,128,128,128,127,127,127,126,126,125,124,123,122,122,121,119,118,117,116,114,113,111,110,108,106,105,103,101,99,97,95,93,91,248,86,84,81,79,76,74,71,68,66,63,60,58,55,52,49,46,43,40,37,34,31,28,25,22,19,16,13,9,6,3,0,-3,-6,-9,-13,-16,-19,-22,-25,-28,-31,-34,-37,-40,-43,-46,-49,-52,-55,-58,-60,-63,-66,-68,-71,-74,-76,-79,-81,-84,-86,-248,-91,-93,-95,-97,-99,-101,-103,-105,-106,-108,-110,-111,-113,-114,-116,-117,-118,-119,-121,-122,-122,-123,-124,-125,-126,-126,-127,-127,-127,-128,-128,-128,-128,-128,-128,-128,-127,-127,-127,-126,-126,-125,-124,-123,-122,-122,-121,-119,-118,-117,-116,-114,-113,-111,-110,-108,-106,-105,-103,-101,-99,-97,-95,-93,-91,-248,-86,-84,-81,-79,-76,-74,-71,-68,-66,-63,-60,-58,-55,-52,-49,-46,-43,-40,-37,-34,-31,-28,-25,-22,-19,-16,-13,-9,-6,-3,0,3,6,9,13,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,37,40,43,46,49,52,55,58,60,63,66,68,71,74,76,79,81,84,86,248,91,93,95,97,99,101,103,105,106,108,110,111,113,114,116,117,118,119,121,122,122,123,124,125,126,126,127,127,127,128,128,128};

Let me know if you see anything wrong (don't preoccupate of any function but nRC_rayCasting please).

Thanks by advance :)

Your code is not really readable since it is math based and with a poor coding style (for example, more than 80 columns, trailling white spaces, more than 4 arguments per functions, passing structures as copy instead of pointers, etc ...)

Two things had retained my attention, maybe they are not revelant, but I did not had more than 5 minutes for your code :
  • Do goto and labels work with Ndless ? I mean, test them appart and tell us. (other than that, using goto in C is a _really_ bad practice to solve algorithmic problems)
Code: [Select]

    Are you kidding me ? Didn't you meant "static int table..." instead ?
Code: [Select]
inline void nRC_dispBuf(char *buffer)
{
    memcpy(SCREEN_BASE_ADDRESS, buffer, SCREEN_BYTES_SIZE);
}
    IIRC, there is way more efficient than copying the entire buffer back to the screen, you can swap it, go take a look on hackspire

Possibles issues I was looking for in your code that might crash the calc are :
  • Overflow on the RAM (either malloc or the stack), either infinite recursives functions or too big data allocation (a screenbuff is OK with malloc, but not on the stack)
  • Calling syscalls that are not implemented (-nostdlib required) or your version of Ndless is not up to date
  • weird stuff on the stack, typically an overflow, but a common bug in Ndless history is global variables
  • Bad pointer, like drawing outside the screen

I do not get mad at people, I just want them to learn the way I learnt.

Jacobly helped me on IRC so I was able to get rid of the crash, but maths are still wrong.

<btw, thanks for saying that I'm coding like shit Levak>

So here's the new code :

Spoiler For nRayC.c:
Code: [Select]
#include <os.h>

// Useful structures
typedef struct
{
int x;
int y;
} ScreenPoint;

// Functions

#define map(x, in_min, in_max, out_min, out_max) ((x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) / (in_max - in_min) + out_min)

#define nRC_248mul(a,b) ((a*b) >> 8)
#define nRC_248div(a,b) ((a << 8) / b)

// Trigonometry

Which was that rayX and rayY went outbounds at the really start of the execution (which is in either way a maths problem, since this should never happen with the map I used). I'll redo the engine with floats.

Does the Nspire have hard float ? If it doesn't you're gonna loose speed.

It doesn't, but since I can't make a very basic engine work, I'm not thinking about speed. That'll come later.

The Nspire uses too old components for goodies such as hard float... and yet, to date, it's the most powerful (least underpowered) calculator on the marketplace.

Yeah, early optimization is the source of all problems, just that it will be difficult to modify everything afterwards. :)

Hi Guys,

I know I am way too late in helping.  Well I did get your code compiling and here is a picture or two in case anybody was interested in what it looks like!  The pictures are from your original post's code (with the last while loop commented out); so the actual may look quite a lot different!  Keep working on it; I think it'll look great!

Have a great day!

Actually  I successed making a basic engine work (flat raycasting) :D
I'll post a screenshot in an hour or so, and I'll start adding textures :)

To make it clear, my goal is to write a fully reusable raycasting engine, for those who want to write Wolfenstein 3D- like games (not Doom-like though, I didn't plan to support floors, stairs or things like that. Maybe variable-height walls.).
