Talk:Raycaster

No example for Sprite-Based

The description doesnt include how to script a Sprite-Based raycaster.

I know, we never really finished it. I might do it today. :)

How do you like it so far?

Nice! Remember to link to other pages on the wiki.

Done. :P

Can I take over work on this article? I'm preparing to complete a full explanation, maybe finished by this weekend.

It says in the 3rd paragraph, "a raycaster is usually single-frame, in order to prevent lag". What does that mean? I've made really good raycasters, but I have no idea what it means. Would the person who wrote that please explain to me what they meant.

Also, can I add more examples, like S65's? (I don't think I should add mine, though)

I'll put it in the article that you're working on it. We have a template for that. :)

Thanks :)

Single-frame means no wait, wait until, broadcast, or looping blocks are used, to prevent having to enter turbo speed. These cause lag, intentionally, because a new Scratcher might get confused upon losing a sprite that 'flew off the screen' because of a haywire repeat.

I don't think that's what single-frame means. I'm pretty sure single frame means that all calculations are done, then the drawing is done (in one frame). I think what you mean is loop-unrolling. It should have been elaborated upon, I'll do it.

Can anyone give me examples of several more raycasters? I really don't want to give the ones I made. :S I need at least one raycaster that's sprite based, one that's array-based, and one that's 1s1s. I already know of hardmath123's and S65's.

Nope, I don't know raycasters. I'd say it's fine to use one of yours as an example, and long as you don't overdo it (just 1).

Needs Expansion

There is no (complete) tutorial on how to make an array based raycaster. I was working on a complete tutorial in my sandbox, so should I finish that then place it on this page, or on a tutorial page of it's own?

Maybe place it on a tutorial page of it's own.
Swampert11 (talk | contribs) 15:37, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Can it go on Raycaster Tutorial, or would it be incompatible with the existing page?
Scimonster (talk | contribs) 05:21, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

It can go here.
Swampert11 (talk | contribs) 17:18, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Still nothing here. Will the wiki be making one?

Well, actually, I just finished the List-Based Raycaster!!! :D

List-Based Raycasting

P I'm working on the list based raycaster, but I'm having issues with wall detection... Can someone help me?

How to use the coordinates with List-Based Raycasting?

I'm sorry, but I have no idea how to use the coordinate system, and the page doesn't say anything about it. Can anyone help me please? :l --
110Percent (talk | contribs) 14:02, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

The co-ordinate system? Oy, it's pretty complicated. Basically, the raycaster sends rays using the sin and cos functions. The rays keep moving until they hit a wall. Once it hits the wall, it adds a line to the screen. :D Kapeesh?

Mistake?

According to a post by Scratch user @asivi in this discussion thread: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/201264/ it appears there is a mistake, and after viewing it I agree that it is a mistake. May I change it?
