Nice work! It’s cool to see a raycasted 3D game in the jam. I suspect your curved walls are the result of using euclidean distance to the camera position instead of distance to the camera plane. Search here for “fisheye” to see one way of solving that: https://lodev.org/cgtutor/raycasting.html
Good job on the submission!
Thank you very much!
Thank you as well for the link, I had a feeling it had something to do with this type of issue but couldn't get my head around a fix. This page explains it perfectly! I'll try and update the code for releasing after the voting period.
In the meantime I'm going to say the in-universe explanation for the curving walls is that the power surge affected the cameras on the rover... ;-)
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature! :D
it worked for my python3 installation, but i had to change the paths for the assets
Hi Anton, I have tracked down the issue and have fixed it. Thank you very much for your comment, it led me in the right direction to track down the error and I've even created an exe file which works (at least on my computer!)
Cannot test I do not have Python.
Hi CPU, I'll try again to get an executable working and then maybe add it to the file list.
Hi CPU, with help from Anton I've managed to create an exe - do you know if we can add things to our submission now that the deadline has passed?
You can add it. Just mention clearly on the game page that it was uploaded after the deadline. Say the truth and there are no problems. The Jam is to have fun between friends.
The website doesn't allow this until the jam is over - I have posted a message on the jam forum asking about this so I'll wait to see if Javid replies. Until then, it's just provided as-is.
My apologies if it prevents people from playing the game.
This is my first jam so for next time I'll remember to leave more time for play testing (or at least ask someone else to try running it)!
