By the way, would this engine work with a gradient as the floor and a scrolling background for the sky?

Of course, I'm adding these functions to my TODO list :
  • nRC_floorCasting
  • nRC_ceilCasting
  • nRC_scrollingSky

Take a look here: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/570700/SquareplusRootplusalgorithmplusforplusC

It's more complex, but I think it will be faster (better algorithm).

Now it freezes(stuck in a while loop I think) inside the plasmaBuffer loop. :/

Can't wait for the floorcasting and shtuffs. :D

Oh floorcasting would be nice too. Would it be very slow if combined with raycasting, though?

Well, we'll see, but since the raycasting alone is heavily unoptimized, although very fast, there is still some speed to gain.

This raycaster looks pretty awesome. Hopefully someone makes a cool game with it. :D

Oh cool ! :D What type of game will it be ? Cause all I can see is an FPS ATM.

It's a surprise, since it's a game that never met calculators before ;)

Yeah but I won't start it before a while, since I need the engine to be complete enough first :P

I was wondering how you plan on adding doors?

What about variable wall and camera height? (Like in calc84maniac's 84+ raycaster)
