Continuing my work on a new raycasting engine in pure JavaScript, no libraries, using the 2d canvas. Prior to this, I have used three.js and WebGL to make games like Death 3D, but I wanted to make one using just the 2D canvas and no libraries. This video highlights colored dynamic lighting, transparent textures, doors, particle effects, lightmaps, dynamic resolution scaling and more!

Working on a new raycasting engine in pure JavaScript, using 2D canvas and no libraries. This time I have added engine generated textures (the "grass" and "water", no graphic assets needed), sprite support (the moving orb) and a particle effects engine (the "blood" particles hitting the floor and sliding down the wall). There is also support for transparent walls now and half size walls, as well as moving walls and doors. Check out the progress here:
