## About

This is an old-school DDA raycaster made in Windows Batch. This project is notable for its functionality despite Batch's lack of floating point arithmetic or built-in trigonometric functions.

Per Batch's limitations, frames take roughly 1.5 seconds to generate and movement is done via console-inputs (`set /p`).

[Read an in-depth analysis of this project here](https://nthorn.com/articles/batch_raycaster).

## Getting started

### Prerequisites

Designed for Windows 10 Command Prompt (conhost or Terminal), non-legacy mode, Consolas. Functionality within Linux/macOS virtual environments may vary (e.g. [wine](https://www.winehq.org/)). See [troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) if you experience any issues.

### Installation

1. Clone/download the repo
   ```sh
   git clone https://github.com/nTh0rn/batch-raycaster.git
   ```

## Usage
1. Modify [`map.txt`](map.txt) to contain the map of your choice. Use `.` to denote empty space, `@` to denote the player's position, and use any other character to denote walls _except for_ `'` or `#`, which are reserved for internal use.
2. Execute [`raycaster.bat`](raycaster.bat) (or [`raycaster-optimized.bat`](raycaster-optimized.bat) for better performance at the cost of unreadable code).
3. Movement/aiming commands are relative to the top-down map. See [CONTROLS.txt](CONTROLS.TXT).\
   3.1 `w`=north, `a`=west, `s`=south, `d`=east\
   3.2 `z #`=aim left, `x #`=aim right, where `#` is the number of degrees to turn.

### Troubleshooting

1. Some machines may encounter issues printing Unicode characters. If you're already using non-legacy Command Prompt (conhost or Terminal) with Consolas font and still experiencing issues, then try out the versions within [/no-unicode/](./no-unicode/).

2. Set `debug_show_wall_type=true` to show the walls' char from [map.txt](map.txt) both within the FOV and within the mini-map for debugging purposes.
