Raycasting Game

doom.mp4

Overview

This project is a raycasting game developed in C++ that recreates a 3D environment using the raycasting rendering technique. The game simulates a first-person view where the player navigates through a maze-like world. The project aims to replicate the graphical style of classic games like Wolfenstein 3D.
