NEW UPDATE HERE! CHECK README.TXT FOR DETAILED INFO!
This is a simple example of how to "ray-cast"!
It's a very simple techinc, when you get to understand it.
This is how good old DOOM and WOLFENSTEIN 3D is made, they
also used ray-casting/ray-tracing. So they are not really
3D-games, just simulated 3D!!
You don't have to have a very good computer to run this.
And NO 3d-card is needed, altough it might make it run faster!
I've seen so many examples of raycasting, but I didn't find
anyone that runs fast on my computer, at least not made in VB!
So I decided I'd make one, that isn't really that complex just to
show how it's done!! :o)
