raycaster-go-demo

Demo project for using raycaster-go engine as a module.

To see it in action, see the demo video on YouTube.

How to try

The demo is now available to try in the browser: https://harbdog.github.io/raycaster-go-demo/

The browser version may run much slower than running locally as an application, and may not run very well on old or slow machines. It also requires a mouse and keyboard, see the controls listed below.

How to run

To run the demo from source locally:

Download, install, and setup Golang https://golang.org/dl/
Clone/download the demo project locally.
From the demo project folder, use the following command to run it:

NOTE: Depending on the OS, the Ebitengine game library may have additional dependencies to install.
