Raycasting tutorial with Python

This is the repository with all the code that will be used on my new Raycasting tutorial on my YouTube channel. This project is very important because I really wanted to share this knowledge with everyone. The resources available online that explain this topic are not good in my opinion, so I decided to pick the best parts of each one and make The Definitive Raycasting Guide.

How to run

1. First, you need to have pygame installed

   pip3 install pygame
   

2. Clone this repository and enter the folder

   git clone https://github.com/Magoninho/raycasting-python
   

   cd raycasting-python
   

3. Run the project

   python3 main.py
   

Note: if you are on Windows, you may need to replace pip3 with pip and python3 with python
