Wolfenstein 3D (Tech Demo)

A playable Wolfenstein 3D demo featuring real-time ray casting. My most bestest creation by far.

Description

Wolfenstein 3D Tech Demo for MATLAB v0.45
---------------------------------------
Mingjing Zhang, Stellari Studio, 2013

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

This is the first 3D game (demo) ever made with 'pure' MATLAB available on MATLAB Central.

In this demo, you can freely roam in a Wolfenstein-style environment. The game runs at 40~60 FPS on my three year old Lenovo G460.

The sole purpose of this demo is to show off the wolfenstein-style ray-casting engine I have written, which is an implementation of the ray casting algorithm on this page:

Currently there is no collision detection, so feel free to go through walls as much as you want to. There is a switch hidden somewhere in this level, but you won't be able to interact with it...
There are no doors in this level.

How to play:
-----------------
WASD - move //
Left/Right arrow - rotate //
Enter - mouse on/off //
ESC - quit demo//
Move mouse - mouse look //
mouse wheel - zoom in/out
--------------------

Enjoy!

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 8.1 (R2013a)

Thank you for your support, Ryan. I probably won't be able to expand it to a full game any time soon since I still have to focus on my thesis. Also there are some problems to solve before I could use this engine in a real game. For instance, it does not handle walls that are not located on integer locations. In other words, the engine cannot render sliding doors, which are not located on the same plane as regular walls, as seen in the real Wolfenstein game.

Really cool. Are you going to upload any full games (or playable levels) with this?
