# Pyxel Raycast

![example](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danmacnaughtan/pyxel-raycast/master/example.gif)

A basic raycast example using the [Pyxel](https://github.com/kitao/pyxel) retro game engine. The
project started as an experiment porting the [OneLoneCoder
CommandLineFPS](https://github.com/OneLoneCoder/CommandLineFPS) (see [video tutorial
here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW8skO7MFYw)) to Python and Pyxel, but went a bit farther
with some dithering and camera control (including "vertical" looking).

A resolution of 240x136 and framerate of a whopping 30fps was achieved using two techniques:
1. Interleave rendering (alternate drawing even and odd columns)
2. Using one of Pyxel's image banks as a display buffer so the scene can be rendered with a single
   draw command

Some additional tips, specifically "vertical" look, can be found in this
[article](https://permadi.com/1996/05/ray-casting-tutorial-1/).
