cub3D is a raycasting project that renders a first-person 3D graphical representation of a maze, inspired by Wolfenstein 3D. The project utilizes the MiniLibX graphics library and implements fundamental raycasting principles to simulate a pseudo-3D environment.

• Raycasting rendering for realistic 3D visualization
• Smooth window management (minimizing, switching, etc.)
• Wall textures based on direction (North, South, East, West)
• Custom floor and ceiling colors
• Player movement using W, A, S, D
• Camera rotation using arrow keys
• Clean program exit via ESC key or window close button
• Configurable map format (*.cub)

• make
• MiniLibX
• libft (custom standard function library)

To compile cub3D, run:

make

This will generate the cub3D executable.

To compile cub3D bonus (see Bonus Features), run:

make bonus

This will generate the cub3D_bonus executable.

To remove object files:

make clean

To remove the executable and object files:

make fclean

To recompile everything:

make re

make re_bonus

Run the program with a valid .cub map file:

./cub3D map/example.cub

./cub3D_bonus map/example.cub

The map must be provided in a .cub file and follow specific formatting rules:

• Wall textures:

  NO ./path_to_north_texture
  SO ./path_to_south_texture
  WE ./path_to_west_texture
  EA ./path_to_east_texture
  

• Floor & ceiling colors:

  F 220,100,0  # RGB format
  C 225,30,0
  

• Map layout:
  • 1 - Wall
  • 0 - Empty space
  • N, S, E, W - Player start position
  • D - Door (bonus)

  111111
  100101
  101001
  1100N1
  111111
  

• The map must be fully enclosed by walls (1).
• Elements must appear before the map in the file.

The bonus version includes:

• Wall collision detection
• Minimap system
• Doors that open and close
• Mouse-controlled rotation
