Ray casting
Can someone make a tutorial on how Raycasting works? I really have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER how to make one. I've read through a bunch of Raycaster code, but nothing helps. Thanks in advance.

Re: Ray casting
I think, im not sure, but that it has a list of the walls and then it draws those and those walls set to a z y and x position... but i dont know...
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

Oh. Sorry, I thought I had a Wiki article linked in the project notes, which would be helpful. Well, here's the link: wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Raycasting. Good luck!
PS. Revise your trigonometry. It helps!

Yeah, it is the worst way (no offense) . PLZ don't tell me I'm stuck trying to figure out array-based raycasters (the only way I can think of how to do) on my own...
