Hi,
I just want to share this to the community.
This is a basic raycaster ported to SFML. The original article below is written in SDL. And because the code uses vertices, the walls are drawn by the cpu.
http://lodev.org/cgtutor/raycasting.htmlSave as main.cpp and then build and run. Walk around by using the arrow keys.
