# futracer

Race through breathtaking 3-D graphics with Futhark through OpenCL
(*not* OpenGL)!

Run `make` to build the library, and then run `./futcubes.py`,
`./futfly.py`, or `./futdoom.py` to run the example programs.  Use the
`--help` argument to see which settings exist.

There are three rendering approaches: `segmented` (the default) `chunked`, and
`scatter_bbox`.  The `segmented` approach is a rasterizer, while
`chunked` and `scatter_bbox` are raycasters.

## Dependencies

futracer depends on the programming language Futhark;
see [http://futhark-lang.org/](http://futhark-lang.org/)
and
[https://github.com/HIPERFIT/futhark](https://github.com/HIPERFIT/futhark).

futracer also depends on PyGame, PyPNG (only `futcubes.py` and
`futdoom.py`), and NumPy.

## Keyboard controls

Use the arrow keys for now.  Use Page Down and Page Up to decrease and
increase the view distance for rendering (fun!).  Use 1 and 2 to
decrease and increase the draw distance.

Use R to switch rendering approaches.

For the `chunked` rendering approach, use A and D to decrease and
increase the number of draw rectangles on the X axis, and W and S on the
Y axis.  Sometime in the future this should be chosen automatically.
Warning: This might slow down the program to a crawl for some reason.

## Scripts

`futdoom.py` supports custom maps.  For an example of a (poorly)
randomly generated map, run:

```
./futdoomlib/scripts/generate_random_map.py | ./futdoom.py --auto-fps --level -
```
