42_cub3d

Description

This project consists of creating a graphic engine (ray casting) using a minimal graphic library, like it is mlx. We are asked to parse the map information from a .cub file and use it to draw a 3d maze on the screen using raycasting principles. This project is inspired by the game Wolfenstein 3D.
