Hey all, I must go to bed... its very late at night here... or early morning... whatever, it''s getting light . But, before I go, does anyone know of a good online tutorial / introduction to building a raycasting engine? I was just merrily reading through - and getting excited about, a page on how to do so (here if you''re interested) when, just as we were past the theory, and about to start on the code... ...It stopped... bummer . Anyway, ramble ramble ramble. All I need to know is where can I find a GOOD quality tutorial (I thought that one was excellent, till it stopped )? Sorry if i''m a bit non-sensical, i''m far too tired to spell check / sense check Night all, and cheers for any response! Nick - Head Designer, Llamasoft.net -- Visit our website...

I thought raycasting was extremely slow. If I''m right (some one come and prove me wrong) why would you want to learn it? I beleive that''s what DX and OGL is for.....and I KNOW I''m sure on that.

*sigh* why does it matter why he wants to do it...he just does.

Hey Sponge99, I''m sorry for my rudeness. I''d been playing counterstrike for about an hour before coming to the site, and some guy had been fragging me consistently every round. I was pretty frustrated and it came out in my reply. Again, I apologize.

Sorry about that FunkyMonkey. I was going as easy on you as I could...

Sponge99, raycasting isnt slow, thats ray tracing. The doom engine was a ray casting engine I believe, and it wasnt slow at all.

I know for sure that raycasting isnt the slow one, raytracing is.

Yeah, it''s raytracing that''s very slow, not raycasting.
