RayCast3D is a 3D Game Engine for Nintendo 3DS/PS Vita which runs under Lua Player Plus 3DS and Lua Player Plus Vita.

It uses Ray-Casting algorithm to generate a 3D world starting from a 2D map allowing to create basic 3D games without any knowledge of how 3D rendering works.

On PS Vita it runs good with accuracy values >= 3.

Features

  • Different tile size maps support.
  • Automated camera and player position management.
  • No restrictions on maps sizes.
  • Support for sky and floor rendering (still choppy at the moment).
  • Automated minimap renderer with player position.
  • ShootCasting feature to easily build FPS and similars.
  • Textured walls support.
  • Customizable FOV.
  • Walls collision detection.
  • Shading support for shadows, fogs and similar effects.
