Python raycaster

A simple raycasting engine, like the one used for Wolfenstein 3D, written in Python using the SDL graphics library. Inspired by this video of 3DSage

Requirements

Install SDL libs for Python and PNG lib (required for texture loading):

pip install pysdl2 pysdl2-dll pypng

Run

Run with

./raycaster.py

Context

Being this an educational project (done to teach myself SDL and how a raycasting engine works), the performances are pretty bad. The code is written to be documental, more than efficient. I decided to keep the various milestones in different folders (v1, v2, v3...) instead of relying on git versioning to allow easier compare between different milestones.
