Rendering 3D Worlds in C#

on YouTube ↗52m

" summary

Builds a working ray casting renderer from first principles in C#, converting a 2D map of spaces and hashes into a 3D view by shooting rays per column, stepping with sine/cosine, culling at a max depth and computing column heights as distance ratios. Delivers the prototype as a WindForms preview and a Razor Pages editor, uses simple texture gradients, fits under 200 lines of C#, and reproduces Wolfenstein‑style output at 1024×768.
