RayCast by Tbyte
RayCast for Win32 with source
Coded by Tbyte
The original version of RayCast was written in C++, because
coding in C++ is easier, but it was too big to fit in 4k, so
I rewrote it in assebly. However, I put the C++ source in the
package, because it is much clearer. I know that this code is
far from optimal, but I think an unoptimized source is more
understandable. Althought I forgot to write comments.
Ehh, poor explanation.
Requirements:
- Windows 95 or better
- DirectX 7.0
- your system must support the 320x240 16bpp video mode
To rebuild the assembly sources, you will need the following things:
- MASM32 package.
You can download from http://win32asm.cjb.net
or http://masm32.cjb.net.
- DDRAW.LIB
It is a part of the Microsoft Platform SDK. You can download from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer/sdk/platform.htm.
The whole SDK is rather big. You'll only need the following file:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/PlatformSDK/July2000/psdk-x86.11.cab.
It contains the ddraw.lib.
- UPX (The Ultimate Packer for eXecutables)
You can download from http://upx.tsx.org,
or if you have the full versoin of Free Pascal 1.00,
you'll find it in the \pp\bin\go32v2 directory.
