efficient ray casting

-----------------------------------

this is in reference to my recent post in the submissions section (MY FIRST 3D PROG!)

Is there a quicker, more efficient way of raycasting?
I explained the method I used in that article...

Yes.

This is in C++, but the concept is the same.

Re: efficient ray casting

thanks. helped alot.

I was checking the dist by pixel, not geomentric.
that will DEFINETLY speed up the process.

So now when I finish up with adding weather (rain, snow, etc...) it won't be to slow to run.
I already have weather, but right now it is a bit slow...

Many thanks!

*necro'd but for a good reason

 SNIPERDUDE, did you ever figure out efficient raycasting? I have a maze/shooter game made but it's too darn slow :(

You didn't exactly revive this for a good reason. If you wanted to know his progess, just PM him instead of necromancing. :locked:
